Its pretty much a moot point now, I guess.
Without revealing my personal stand on the issue, I see it as a loss/loss result in the long run. Given all the bruhaha around the issue I can't imagine the the decision was based on a careful consideration of the need or lack of need for incorporating more modern data to maintain a quality product (was that neutral enough ?) but rather the need to terminate an issue that has gotten too convoluted and impacted , and thus really really emotional, and likely a waste of time.

As a result, I can't imagine this is going to be any help in terms of integrating fan input in the future, no matter what the issue is....I rather suspect that its hard to not see the situation as a bunch of overinvolved hobbyists stirring the hell out of a teacup....and for the record, I explicitly do not apply apply that anyone specifically or in particular; and acknowledge that I'm guilty of it too.
