Some of these changes have been improvements.  For one thing, making the speakers get to the meat of their comments quicker has been good.  It's like they have been forced to cut out the fat.

I really hope the Dems get these young people to wake up and get the importance of voting.  Harris made a good point the other day - that in one Trump state win came down to two votes per precinct. 

Another thing, I've been watching PBS and it is refreshing to have a collection of people that do not speak over each other or yell.
