The reason no one comments is that we've gotten used to such commenting being pointless.
Once a decision to restructure occurs, it is almost impossible to change that decision. In fact, I'm not sure such as decision has ever been changed.
However, it would have been nice if the powers that be asked for comments first, that way there would have at least been the illusion that non-moderators are listened to.
As for the stated purpose, cleaning up the forum, there are a number of other issues in that forum that, if addressed, would result in a far cleaner forum.
I've always thought that a discussion about a particular forum should take place in that forum. Forcing the discussion into the Feedback forum basically gets it safely out of the way so it can be ignored.
