Isn't the point to avoid worrying and talking about it, once these initial posts are written? They decide once for everyone, and they're done, which eliminates a whole class of negotiations and uncertainty.

That may be the point, but when you introduce something radical, it's naive to think that it's "one and done." I would guess that within 6 months, many issues will be raised internally about this policy. It's not that I disagree with the policy itself (though I probably do), but that the weight of a century or so of inertia and policy and expectation will sink it.
I want to point out that it's not that I oppose companies trying radical new things. Quite the opposite. It's just that, having tried it myself several times, I have experience with the practical side of it.
