A lot of the discussion was at Talk:Main Page, with some more at the 
article talk page. Note, though, that almost all the people who 
seriously objected to it were IPs and users with very few edits. So, it 
seems to have gone over pretty well with our users, most of whom 
probably didn't care enough to comment one way or the other.
