My first look into the Fedora community. In response to user concerns on this issue, the comments from those I think may be senior Fedora people to the users include [...]

Have we been reading the same thread? AFAICT, there was really only one person thinking there was absolutely nothing wrong with the change. What I saw from a few senior Fedora contributors and several Red Hat employees was more of a "this should have been communicated better", "we need to re-think this" and "perhaps we should revert this".

At least the release notes now have a big fat warning in them :-)
