It's the 'expect people to listen to them' bit that I'm less sure of. Most of the other things you're referring to are rather more obviously purely for the benefit of the instigator, and they can compel people to listen. In this case, the change should actually benefit the community. Again, they can compel people to listen but I sort of get the impression that they're expecting people to be happy about the change. Indeed, I'm not going to complain too loudly especially as none of my certificates have a far enough out expiry to be affected. I suppose my point is that even if you think everyone will be pleased at a change you're making, if you want people to be happy you should probably check with them before acting.
