Is this ACTUALLY a 'done deal'? I though there was a going to be at least some option to ask if there was a more general agreement for the change.
I cannot really comment on that as I'm not a maintainer of osm-carto. As far as the code is concerned the change has been merged into the style and there have been pull requests for adjustments already.
My personal opinion: I know that this change has not been received well by everybody. All concerns should be (and are) taken seriously and as much of feedback as possible is a good thing. There is always the possibility to add changes or improvements (e.g. https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/pull/1861). However, I also think that this change overall is a great improvement to the map and that design by committee does not work well. At the same time, seeing a greater diversity of (open) styles becoming available is a good thing and very much welcome.
