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.

Just wanted to point out that the drop in the number of submissions is not necessarily a negative result. In some sense, this is a positive result if an average submitted paper was of better quality (?) than before.
Thanks
