No it didn't! Who dreamed that one up. Page priority has nothing whatsoever to do with content vs. metadata!

 Excellent point Donat and thank you.

 Many people get "hung
 up" on the non-paginated EV version which changes to a
 paginated final print version - if the journal has a printed
 run. When the ICZN removed the page priority rule, it made
 pagination "metadata" not "content".
 Therefore, the content does not change between the EV non-
 paginated and paginated final print. Of course, this
 "problem" only exists where a journal produces a
 printed version months after the EV version.

 This is why it is so important
 to accept EV publications as valid. Imagine a student or
 worker has a paper accepted for publication but has to wait,
 for our Austral Entomology journal, over 120 days on average
 for the printed version to appear before the author can cite
 the paper in grants and on a CV.  As a student, finishing a
 degree and looking for a post-doc or a job, the wait in
 terrible.  Our EV version is out in less than 30 days.
