I've been saying for ages now that while spoiler warnings are a polite courtesy to those who don't wish to know, obsessive secrecy is absurd and unnecessary. "If the quality of a story hinges on a shock reveal, then the story itself probably isn't all that great" should be on a T-shirt. Or to put it another way...it's not like people stopped thinking 'Citizen Kane' was a good movie once it became common knowledge that Rosebud is the sled. :) (Heck, for that matter, 'Doctor Jekyll and Mister Hyde' is supposed to be a mystery novel, with the shock reveal at the end being that they're the same man.)
