I don't mind that they are resizing the effect neither would have i mind if they wouldn't do it but i wish they would have post a comment about it.

Right now we don't know what motivate them to do it and if that's all they are planning regarding the animation. Is this a quick fix? All they intended to change for the animation? A placeholder for further changes when they have more time? The first part of future changes? Just an idea they had and decided to implement?

There's a wide range of intention that could explain that addition however since we don't know what the intention is, we can only make supposition.

I mean personally i think the best would be if they intend to improve the animations and that scaling them up was only the first step for that. To that my reaction would be positive.

But the worse for me would be if they agree that the animation need to be "fix" and this is their idea of "fixing" the animations...
