One could argue that this was handled well.

Those that needed to make changes, typically large organisations, did 
so. The hype encouraged others to think about it who would otherwise 
have gone on in ignorance. This caused one customer to discover that 
a spreadsheet displayed dates in a funny way, but that was the only 
thing I experienced personally.

Was there too much hype, too many questionnaires? Possibly, but by 
how much and what could have been reduced?
