Choosing not to do draft/ava is not a violation of status quo, but encouraging others not too or lambasting those that do can get you in trouble for status quo violations and harassment respectively.
What you say is right on target. And this is going to nail a lot of people for a lot of money. Is there an organized effort to grieve this yet? One problem is the failure by the expense report folks to close expense reports in a timely manner. No one really knows how badly they are going to get nailed because many have 6 months worth of expense reports remaining open.
