You know as well as I do that the answer is "no". Or at least - not in a way visible to most users, or even to users active on meta.stackexchange.com .
This is another example of the apparent paradigm shift in SE Inc.'s management of the SE network - towards unilaterlism and arbitrariness, as myself and others have claimed before. Once they realized the way they conduct our-and-their affairs is simply unacceptable to the vast majority of users (who are aware of the situation), they seem to have decided to avoid public contact and rule"rule by decreedecree".
I could be wrong about this - and will gladly delete this answer if we hear otherwise from the corporate leadership. If we don't, then that sort of proves my point.
PS - Please do not construe this answer as opposition or support to the actual planned change. I have an opinion about that, but under the circumstances I would feel uncomfortable even voicing it; just like with the pronouns issue.
