Just because there appears to be a benefit or that Wikia changes frequently cause opposition don't mean disagreement to the change was unfounded. The update changed sitenames of wikis that used MediaWiki to clarify their identity (those that weren't practicing keyword stuffing and where the majority of constructive disagreement came from). Now you must request Staff update on their end which has large negatives of creating a long Project namespace name or a partial loss of that identity.
