I wonder when the plan to inform the community was? It might seem like a minor change, but it's a significant one. AFD/VFD has been 5 days since, what, when it was created? It's a fairly entrenched system. Pointless in
my
view to extend by 2 days. People will simply not remember what they've
been
practising for years.
Wow. Where was this advertised? I missed it.
AdD really does seem a law unto itself. Is 45 people supporting this change really enough?
The same can be asked for any proposed policy change. Considering the current size of the project I don't think it's possible to involve enough of the community in any such discussion no matter how it's announced. Remember the spoiler thing a few years ago? Most editors had no clue about the change until spoiler tags were being mass AWBed out of articles.
Pointers on AN? The policies part of the village pump?
If it was there and I missed it, my bad. If there wasn't anything there...
When I wrote the draft for and proposed the IP blocking exemption policy, a little more than a year age, I know that I publicized it in many, many places. Did not take much work, I think we should try to remember to do these things in the future.

Note the many places it was cross posted.
