For me the primary issue is confusion. Collectively deciding that truely is an acceptable form of truly doesn't offend my senses.
Language is not rules, it is usage. If 100% of the time the answer given to 2+4 is 9 it doesn't become correct. But if everybody spells twelfth as twelth then that is now the correct spelling.
The line, though, is extremely fuzzy and ill defined. But in general I would be ok with semi-official attempts at spelling normalization.
