What was the publicising of the campaign prior to its launch? It should be pretty apparent to people with experience within the movement that this would be both entirely novel and pretty controversial. I'd expect some amount of transparency around it (a phabricator ticket is not, in and of itself, transparency). To contrast, with search when we make /experimental/ modifications to the user experience of a tiny sample (through A/B testing) we not only list those changes in phabricator but also send explicit mailing list announcements - and those effect a smaller chunk of our user base on a platform.
