Yup, that's exactly what people normally say to virtually any change.

He's talking about the 'Danger That Cannot Be Named, So Nothing Must
Be Changed.'

To be honest, I was thinking about starting a liberal political party
on wikipedia. It's about time we had political parties. My party is
going to be called 'The Party for Change (tm)'.

I'm not sure what the changes would be yet, but we can work out a
manifesto as we go.

It's going to be a New Force (tm) in Wikipedian politics!
