I don't think anyone here actually
wants it to be 100% classic, so you don't have to defend it Nildog.
It always (and only) comes up when people are speculating on why certain things aren't being done (ie: why isn't yellow text in? rabble rabble), so that would be the thing to address. Players assume that there is resistance to implementing non-classic features. Those speculated assumptions exist because the only communication coming from the dev side are your posts.
This is actually more than we usually get:

Pretty sure I've said I wanted it, and I'm trying to get it, or something better in asap. What the fuck.

I think transparent communication would go a long way not just for the players but also for you. Set expectations and be clear about things and then you won't have to deal with all the whining and rage and confusion.
If the bottleneck is "Rogean is waffling on doing it in the staff forum because of [whatever / busy IRL and needs approval / doesn't like idea / etc]", well.... there we go. Now we know. Now players don't peddle rumors as to why things are or aren't being done. Now you don't have to deal with the headache of players shooting the dark with false assumptions.
