All of those changes were discussed by the devs on arch-dev-public
I, for one, thought that running archlinux responsibly only committed me to subscribing to and reading arch-announce and -general. If I need to read -dev-public too I will, but it'd be good to be explicit about this.
You don't have to read arch-dev-public if you just want to use Arch, but your original question was about the reasoning behind the move and that information is available in the mailing list archives.
No, apparently you do need to know why and how these things are done even if you just want to use Arch and don't plan to develop for it. That's a lesson I learnt around here anyway.

Just to chime in here, I hadn't updated my system in about 6 months and was able to get past the /lib bump without reading the ML threads just fine. The news article linking to the wiki page was plenty.
