Will user opinion about that be involved at least somehow? 

I mean it can be sometimes radically different - what developers think about 
rational, and what different users think about that.  Would be nice to have 
some more or less objective data about users.  For example, it might be 
possible to ask distribution producers to ask their customers. These people 
usually have all customer e-mail addresses. Might be possible to make 
adequate statistically significant sample set of them.

Please don't ever forget about users. What you described is not fair to users 
in the first place because they are forced to accustom to changes they might 
not regard as necessary or sometimes even as positive.
