they did listen to the established fanbase in the design, but that doesn't totally preclude attempting to make a game not broken.

The voting choice of "not fun" shouldn't have been included in this vote. Whether or not something is fun is (1) completely subjective and (2) not necessarily a problem because, usually when someone says that something is making the game not fun, it's really because either the designers or smart DMs have seen it be totally abused and have either supplied official errata or house rules.
