I agree with everything you have said. But one point of confusion is which
"Light Grey" is being changed. Perhaps Jake could clarify this, but I believe
the Light Grey that is being changed is the one from the Mosaic sets, sometimes
called "Very Light Grey" rather than "Grey" like the color of the Technic gears
and 9V motors. I don't think the Very Light Grey color has been around too
long, so I'd be surprised if this change will impact quite as many people.
Still, the people who have managed to collect any of it would be unlikely to
ever get enough of it to do anything useful.
But if it really is the regular (and very common) Medium Grey that is being
changed then I am shocked beyond belief. This color is used so widely
throughout the product line that it will cause huge headaches for many people.
I know some people think this color thing is a totally trivial change, but to
many of us, this throws a big monkey wrench into our enjoyment of the hobby.
