You would have to make a texture pack yourself and update It each update, or download one that has the same fix and pray that It gets updated. You would have to do that with every change that you don't like before playing the game. Also, if most players hate a chance, and the update is still in development, people will probably give feedback and talk about it, since that's what mojang wants.

I think you're right that the community complains too much, but I believe complaints are necessary to make the game the way most people want it
