I suspect that the majority ownership of cisco shares is institutions and not individuals though. And those institutions have CPAs at their disposal to dissect earnings reports, so you should expect changes to the options policies within cisco if due diligence supports it.

I suspect this is not as black and white as is the case presented by investors on SI, however. For example this new grant, is in lieu of pay. And I know that cisco isn't paying much to anybody these days, plus they are making staff double up in hotel rooms and the cost cutting is unbelieveable. Cisco will make its case for options to the institutions and it is entirely possible that they walk away thinking like me, that options are the right way to go in lieu of pay. Or the institutions may think like the investors here, I don't know. It isn't obvious either way though.
