Sometimes people change their minds.  Sometimes it takes them some
time to decide to change their minds.

I have a tremendous amount of difficulty understanding why this is any
kind of problem, rather than as simply the usual give-and-take, including
mistakes, corrections, and so forth, that inevitably occurs in any large
software project.

As regards the kauth documentation I think something in the tree,
like the documentation traditionally kept in /usr/share/doc/psd, would
be ideal.  Nobody can claim not to understand the rationale if it's
written up that way; whereas now, a lot of people don't seem aware of
the rationale for what was done at all, though the documentation of
what was done, itself, is perfectly fine.
