Ryan, I don't see anything that indicates the "majority" was being followed here. The update says "a lot of unhappy messages" and "a lot of comments". In fact it says "and that we will probably hear more complaints than congratulations" - that doesn't sound like a majority to me.And as someone noted on the backer comments page, there are over 1600 backers and now somewhat over 500 comments - so even if every comment so far was about these minis, there still wouldn't be anything like a true majority.
I think the decision was
1) probably better for the project in the long run and
2) the result of a vocal minority.
Squeaky wheel gets the grease.
