Petition to revert the command block delay changes in 1.17.40

A bit ago back when 1.17.40 had came out they made a lot of new changes but the one that most affected me and a lot of other people who use command blocks. I did not notice this until I had googled what was happening and found this. "Command Blocks with 'Needs Redstone' and a non-zero 'Delay in Ticks' will now execute only if they remain powered for the delay duration." I've seen a couple of Reddit posts talking about this like Obibama's post saying "But now when i try to activate a tick delayed command the command block has to stay powered for the full duration of the tick delay, (x), for it to execute the command after (x) ticks which really messes up all kinds of minigames I've made in the world." Several of my creations could not even function because of this "feature" that has ruined 4 of my worlds and, I don't want anyone else to have to find out about this is hard way.
