Hello! I'm writing on behalf of the Mathematica hospital eCQM Annual Update team. We have two ratio eCQMs currently in our AU cycle: CMS1017 and CMS871. We noticed that in the most recent MADiE exports for both measures, there is stratification information added for both measures. Whereas in the previously published versions of both measures, the 'Stratification' field in the header was just blank, that field now says "None" for both measures. And there used to be no stratification information in the logic for either measure. But now in the population criteria section of the logic (for both measures), there is now a 'Stratification' definition that just says "None." 

Are these updates planned/intentional? We are checking, because if these are planned and permanent changes, we want to make sure to create a technical release note, highlighting these changes for both measures.

I've attached the previously published version of CMS871 (v4.1.000) from MAT, where there was no stratification information, as well as the most recent version of CMS871 (v4.2.000) from MADiE, where there is now stratification information (i.e., "None") in both the header and logic.

Thank you!
