I would consider that a mistake on the part of the ERC for not addressing that rather than a precedent being set.
perhaps, although nobody has complained particularly loudly about it, indeed I think most feedback has been largely positive, if the ERC had flexed its collective muscles and put a stop to it, that would have been a negative step and I'm very glad it hasn't happened
Sounds to me like everything worked out, but there is no way to know that beforehand. Hindsight is 20/20. Where you say it was a good move, I say you got lucky. The changes (whatever they were) could have sucked and then you would have had a whole group of people freaking out for making changes to an approved list and calling its Mr. Hyde doppelganger approved.
This isn't about flexing muscles - it's about doing what we feel is right for the players who want to pick up a list and play and KNOW it is tested. I can't tell you how many emails I received when Raiders 1.0 first came out complaining how they wished the Necron list was better tested. They didn't complain about the list, just the length of time it took to go from development to print.
Right now, the ERC is quite divided, and with the votes not in yet I'd say the ERC could easily allow the changes and keep the approved status. We'll see soon enough.
