These complaints are not late breaking news.  I personally complained
about a lot of these things months ago, and was blown off.  Check the list

What you term "minor changes" aren't minor for those who preferred doing
them the XFCE3 way.  Blowing this off yet again isn't winning your
argument.  I still can't understand why some of this stuff was changed,
other than by the whim of the developers.
