Steemit's Unannounced Amendments....Remind You Of Facebook?

I've just read that changes are to be made to the menu. Changes are good, especially in a Beta phase of development, but please, please, please don't go the way of Facebook, making these changes without announcing them. Some kind of official notification would be appreciated. What we think does matter, right?

Maybe have some official steemit post which overrides other posts or something, anything, just to let us know beforehand. And an explanation of why the changes are being made, and what the reasons are for this. If this is going to be by the people, for the people, then let the people's opinion matter !!
