pack colors, the 3.1 rule question

tldr for my post - y'all didn't do anything wrong posting this thread, or suggesting ways to make this change better/reasons why you don't think this change is a good idea.

I don't want anyone to feel discouraged from posting things like this in the future!  We just want to be open that sometimes the tone/assumptions people make in these sorts of discussions hurt <3 and address it.  We are also looking to clarify more around CM role vs member input, as a means to mitigate this in the future.  It's a hard balance to strike.

Agreed with this! I apologize if my original post sounded like this wasn't the case. I wanted to quickly clarify why it got added to the Guidebook without a community discussion, what part of the decision wouldn't be changing, and address/relieve some of the worry about timeline and non-compliance.

I am grateful for the suggestions on how to make the ADA compliance feel less limiting, and although I didn't expect this discussion to be where it occurred, grateful we had the opportunity to further clarify how decisions are made by the CM team and be honest about how the CM team sometimes feels. As objective as we try to be, we're not robots with no emotions!

Edit: Also agreed with Lauren. I didn't appreciate the policing of my tone or insinuations that we would unfairly punish people, or that stating so means we don't appreciate/can't handle constructive feedback. We historically listen to and accept feedback regardless of format (i.e. courteous or not) and it is fair for us to put up boundaries and tell the community when it's starting to stray toward uncharitable.
