I have to go back to a previous answer that speaks to the universe before and after the change.
If a change hadn't been made and these practices continued, I would be very concerned. The tone that I would be striking would be very different. As opposed to talking about unintended consequences, we could still be talking about the practice of bait and switch if left unaddressed. To pay the appropriate amount of respect to what the department did, it did seek to address the bait and switch issue.
I don't mean to half answer your question, but I'm not as concerned, given that the change has already taken place. Where my concern lies is now in the unintended consequences of that change.
