Can we get confirmation on whether or not these Heimerdinger changes are bugs or intentional?

Now, I know there have been quite a few posts going on about how many bugs came in on everyone's favorite Yordle when they 'buffed/bugfixed' him, but I still have yet to see anyone give confirmation on whether some of these changes are really bugs at all.

The interaction with Aery and Rylai's and Heimerdinger's turrets I can assume is a bug, after all shouldn't they be treated as any other DOT skill like Malzahar E or Teemo Poison and therefore proc both constantly?

His turrets and Dark Harvest on the other hand can be seen easily as either a bug or intentional as the notes did mention that Dark Harvest won't proc off procs. Then again, his turrets are less of a proc as they are one of his skills, why shouldn't it proc off of them?

Finally, Heimerdinger's W and Dark Harvest interaction. If a champion is above the threshold for Dark Harvest to be proc'd and Heimerdinger hits all his rockets, dropping them well beyond the threshold with the first one or two, shouldn't the rest be able to collect the stack? Or do they all count as procs of procs?

I'm aware there are still plenty of other rune options that he can viably go in game, just looking more for clarification for the dear Heimerdinger community.

The standard rule is if the information is not in the patch note then its a bug. Far as dark harvest goes no idea.

Edit. Meddler did chime in yesterday saying they needed to hotfix donger as he had some massive bugs. the Stun nerf was not intentional and the 4 stacks of turrets was an error as well.

Yes, I did see that which is why I made this. They mentioned planning a hot fix, which they did send out, to fix the bugs, most notably of course being the stun duration and the four turret stacks, however in that hot fix came no change or mention of these other bugs/changes so I'm looking for clarification.

I did see Meddler's comment on the other post made, however I did not see that second post. Again though, my question here is more are these minor bugs that will be addressed at a later point in time, and if not, as these are significant to Heimerdinger players, why were they not mentioned in the patch notes? A small hot fix for the major bugs has gone out (namely the turret amount and stun bugs) however changing Rylai's and Aery without putting it in the notes seems unintentional, but given that it wasn't changed in the hotfix, I'm left to believe it is intentional.
