(The vision of Wikimedia is to share the sum of all human knowledge, so from that standpoint the end is to close the gap in coverage, diversity in the editorship is a very important means to it.) In any case, experimentation with the grants programme is probably for the benefit of the community, but so is reliability and predictability. If the original assumptions are clear, announcing a major policy change for the grants programme only with 3 weeks of planned lead time seems to go againts those latter expectations unfortunately.
