From what i'd heard the CR IFF change was planned for months in advance and was done awhile ago. According to Rohj as well it was apparently discussed with several people in CR.
I think the issue here is that CR leadership just changed so much since when this development was finished and now that very few or even none of the same members are still in the CR HC from when it was originally changed. I highly suspect this is the case and in honesty this seems to be the fault of CR leadership for not informing the people taking their place of changes rather than something the devteam really needs to revert.
