Yes, you're asking if people had any objections to a proposal which differs
to the changes you actually made. I think it's completely unreasonable to
complain that people didn't give feedback on those changes, people can't
"stop complaining only after changes have been made" if the content of those
changes isn't made clear beforehand.

I agree that some more feedback at the time would have apparently been
sensible (to be clear, I really don't care much about the situation myself),
I just don't feel that it's fair to blame people about the lack of it like
this.
