There's been a tremendous amount of discussion, feedback, a tweaks
about this change:
* https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/pull/1736
* http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Mateusz Konieczny/diary
* various calls for participation on this mailing list.

OSM, and osm-carto in particular are developed in the open. If
anything, they are often flooded by feedback. Please use open source
to your advantage and check the process, the challenges and the
compromises before passing judgement, and contribute using those
channels if you can.

Osm-carto is full of compromises trying to reach a balance between all
the requirements, it is no easy task. For example, the tertiary roads
styling you bemoan has been heavily debated before reaching the
current conclusion; a tough requirements was keeping a high enough
contrast for non-ideal viewing conditions.
