The last warning was less than a month before the changes (and in my memory is “pretty recent”), and had screenshots pretty close to what we have now, though some suggestions given in the comments were taken into account (use thumbs for vote up/down not for agree/disagree). I for one thing matt (and others?) were right to deploy the new design as soon as possible rather than spend more time bikeshedding.
Yes, maybe they could have deployed a beta somewhere public, but that would have taken time that would have been better spent improving the site.
Looks like we simply disagree. A month IS a very long time according to me. And I think not pissing of the users would have been worth the extra time spent.
