From the announcement: "To reiterate, the features described herein will be rolling out over the next couple days." Maybe give a few days?

    The linked article seems to mis-understand the new policy. Please read Yonatan's comments on the OP, or refer to the conversation that is happening on Yonatan's own post (https://plus.google.com/u/0/103389452828130864950/posts/YJbzDptWGQt https://plus.google.com/u/0/103389452828130864950/posts/YJbz...). I have a lot of respect for Violet Blue, but I'd say that Yonatan is much more of an authority on the new policy than Violet. You didn't include in your post any context about the rejection - when you changed you name, what you tried to change it to, why you think it meets the need policy, etc. If you think you have a legitimate false positive, I can assure that Yonatan would be very interested in hearing the details and I would be willing to bet that if you asked a question on his post you would get a response.

  And that would make Google+ even more bizarre. How does a policy change need to be rolled out over time? If you need to tell the review staff, why don't you tell them ahead of time?

    I have no idea. I'm not involved in the process of rolling this out so I don't have first hand knowledge of what's involved. Rolling out something globally to many millions of people is usually more complex than it seems from the outside :-)
