Nothing against change on CVP in general, but on a personal note I've felt that most changes in my life have been for the worse, not for the better (e.g. cost of living...). One former Chess President of Canada once wrote that people don't like change, and when it happens they prefer it in small doses.

From a Google blurb, re: why do people not accept change?:

'People will resist any change they see as an imposition and will naturally support any change they are part of. They may also fear losing control over aspects of their work or personal life that are important to them, such as their autonomy, their relationships, or their status. Jan 20, 2023',

I recall there is also a passage in Macheavelli's(sp?) 'The Prince' that states to the effect that someone proposing something new has lukewarm supporters at best, with much strong opposition otherwise...
