I disagree. I think that "concern" is not a problem, as long as "concern" doesn't mean "reject any change whatsoever". For example, how much work would be involved in sending an email to 3-4 of the maintainers of software on: http://lilypond.org/easier-editing.html ? Maybe half an hour, if their websites are badly designed and provide no obvious "contact us" information? If we were seriously considering this change, I think it would be worth it to send them a quick email. Even if we disregard any complaints that they make, at least they wouldn't be able to claim that we didn't give them advanced notice.
