To me this is more like releasing the DVDs immediately, but withholding the captioned and audio-described DVDs.
I feel as though the "it's only eight weeks, get over it" is a bit of a furphy. I suspect this is one of the first sallies in an attempted boiling-frogs scenario, and I think librarians see that also.
