To clarify, this is a potential solution to a common complaint, that doesn't mean it's what people wanted. 

I can complain that my neighbor keeps parking in the spot in front of my house which forces me to park down the block, it doesn't mean the solution is for the city to put a fire lane in front of my house so that nobody can park there.

I'm not specifically saying this is a bad solution to wildshape, just that it's perfectly acceptable for people to take issue with the new version, even if they complained about the old one.
