When I arrived at Robin's office hour yesterday someone there was talking about how the Lindens were genuinely surprised at the reaction and that they themselves had been thanked by a couple of Lindens for supporting the move in the blog.

Later when Robin arrived and the conversation finally got around to this subject she said "I would have thought you'd be happy to see prices come down."

So I'm not convinced they did think it would irk people, or maybe they hoped more people would embrace it to drown out the noise of those who are irked about it.
