Look at how Firefox 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, and 3.5 all had different main window themes (and not just cosmetically; they moved pieces around and changed the UX). It's not like there was a "--use_2_0_theme" switch when 3.0 released. Users complain about anything that changes. This is why user complaints should be an input, but not a hugely-weighted one.
