The box animation is not new. It has been there for months and it has already been slowed down. No, it does not consume any meaningful CPU, and I cannot imagine how it can affect people with sight problems (I pay attention to accessibility). I have already compromised a lot and moved the website many steps in the direction you want. At some point you have to compromise too and accept that other people have a different opinion that also has merit. Otherwise we get into the absurd situation where the website gradually moves more and more toward what one person, or a specific group wants, ignoring other opinions, because at every step we "compromise" between wherever the website is, and where this person or group want it to be. Something like this: * Initially the website has JS on the banner and the slide show. * Someone says he wants zero JavaScript. * We compromise to significantly slow the transitions. * We make an unrelated update to the website. * Same person says that he wants zero JavaScript. * We "compromise" again to removing JavaScript from the banner. * We make an unrelated update to the website. * same person says that he wants zero JavaScript. * We "compromise" again to something else. And so on and so forth. This is not fairness. Especially when the person who complains is not active in updating the website. At some point the zero-JS camp has to compromise too and understand that other people do like having some JS on the website and that they should get some of what they want too.
