The new look will not be optional, as stated in the FAQ. However, we are taking a lot of time to listen and consider what the community is saying, that’s also why we’re running both private and public beta testing. Not every piece of feedback will bring a change but we do listen to and consider every piece of feedback. Something else to keep in mind is that while something may not change right now, we have a lot of stored feedback that we’ll continue to keep in mind and go over later, too.
