I'm not really participating much to the Lojban community but I can't see how the gain of having shorter words can compensate the loss of compatibility with the current tools and the need of the update the grammar(s) and generating confusion with the existing texts.

As one who provided some translation to the the lojban corpus in the past, I would have preferred this not to happen. I hope there are plans to fix the grammar and the tools, I believe that having a formal grammar for the language is what makes Lojban stand above the other conlangs, if we start breaking it I fear we won't last long.

I'm not against changes but weighting the pros and cons of this change I don't see the benefit.

Just my 2c.

Why wasn't this always the case? Why change it now?
