The proposal has a section "external discussion". There the largest external 
discussions are listed. These are all publicly accessible sources so people can 
read what has been discussed there. I have also send updates when I changed 
major things in the proposal. I can image if you announce it on a closed 
platform like Discord, that a summary on the talk page can be useful.

There are always people who don't agree with a change. EVERY proposal or 
changes has that. If more then 75% of the people agree you can assume that 
enough people support it. And of course, taking the status quo into account is 
important. However, if you can't change the status quo, you never move forward.
