Spending time changing thing that users don’t complain about when there is list of things users are complaining about is a bad thing, in my 25 years of IT experience. My users have tended not to like “no, we didn’t fix what you wanted, we fixed what we wanted”.

the brand is used when discussing the site with potential sponsors who, in turn, support the site with advertising. Without that revenue, we won’t have the budget to maintain the site.
I guess this clarifies things. So much for the " At the heart of CC is YOU, our community." communication.
a cosmetic change like this doesn’t take resources away from addressing functional issues. It’s different skill sets.
You have dedicated testing infrastructure and staff for functional changes and cosmetic changes, so that time spend validation, regression, and performance testing cosmetic changes has no impact on the same testing for functional changes? That seems like an inefficient team structure.
