Not sure that's a bad change, really. Being bold in updating policies or other people's user pages tends to get your hand slapped, as will being bold in refactoring someone else's comments on talk pages, and changes to templates and the like should be done with a -lot- of care and by people who know what they're doing.
Well, as for editing policy, I *always* make a bold edit and explain it on the talk page. It's a very successful method in my experience. If you look like you know what you're doing, and the change is reasonable and well explained, there seldom any problems.
