One can only hope the community's response will not fall on deaf ears, but I'm afraid SE neither cares nor listens to the community. They're gonna do whatever is the cheapest solution to the ongoing problems with server stability; and this is it. But as I said in another thread, I also see this backfiring greatly, as many will flee the Crystal DC in order to keep with current raiding groups. Raid groups are already figuring the logistics on moving. The players will always outsmart any of SE's ideas to "balance" the servers; and SE will be forced to lock Aether, IMO.
