I am not sure why the authors would complain about the opportunity for rebuttal. They can simply not use the facility if they are happy with the reviews. I can see how it increases the TPC's and possibly reviewer's workload (if the reviewer is expected to respond to the rebuttal). It is sad if the conferences are abandoning the opportunity for rebuttal.

This is certainly a positive development. I hope the system, when in place, will be well advertized.
