What Martin said it's true. From my perspective not "A few in my community" but 
"most of the community's pillars". IMHO, this is an urgent issue and we need to 
fix it 
as soon as possible.

I'm so sorry to disagree with you in this. The entire process, from my 
perspective, 
worked regardless the schedule. Theme was applied the day before the UI freeze 
without 
any previous discussion or even information. Then button order changed again 
with a 
final statement the 1 April, nearly one month after the UI Freeze. Few days 
after this  
usability bug I found in UNE (1) was marked "low" and "late to be fixed" 
because "we 
passed the UI Freeze for a month now" but weeks later the envelope icon in the 
indicator 
applet changed.

About the re-branding we got some assets just today, few hours before the 
release, and 
looking at the brand it changed again. The circle of friends looks slightly 
different in 
today's pdf. And LoCos still don't have the font for updating their sites.

If we set some rules before to play, then every player should follow those 
rules. If 
there's even the perception that someone could go over the rules those who play 
just for 
fun would be de-motivated to continue in playing.
