Okay, let me just throw in a quick response. Sara, I think you should consider starting your own server. You seem to value your opinion over anyone else's and also assume that you are correctly devising the reasoning behind game changes. You also declare a pro/con evaluation made up entirely by you to be the "rational" backing for these choices.
This is what RO (eAthena - at least our SVN) is right now. Your means of fixing the current "status quo" is simply to return to an older version of it.
