Given the incredibly minor nature of this change (as you can see from Amir's
thread on the village pump
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)#Reopening_discussion_about_aligning_colors_with_Wikimedia_color_palette>),
your example is absurd. Small changes such as these would not even come
close to invalidating instructional videos. If the changes were larger,
then I am sure there would've been significantly more advance notice.
Amir's actions seem perfectly appropriate to me in this case; if anything,
I would say an announcement wasn't even required and that he went above and
beyond in doing so. Let's not punish him for that.

Thanks,
Dan
