solved

So, I put strings on, and let the guitar sit for a few days. I finally checked it out last night. Everything was back to normal. I was very relieved. Amazing how guitars react to different situations, like cold weather, hot weather, humidity, or even sitting with the strings off for a while. Guitars are simple yet very complex instruments.

After thinking about all this, I thought about guys like Suhr, Anderson, Knaggs, and was amazed at their creations. Imagine how amazing it would be, to build an instrument at the level of those guys. Their ideas for their instruments that make their guitars more playable than others, more endurable than others, even better looking than others. Thank goodness for guys like them making kick ass instruments so we have these awesome guitars to play!

Some people dont even remove all the strings when changing them - Only one at the time.

That’s just retarded and no reason for that. Some people don’t know how to change strings on a floating bridge so that’s safe for them.
I always thought NOT changing them one at a time was...unwise. It's so much easier to do one at a time...so there is at least one reason. Stop tails don't fall off (nuther reason)...thumbwheels don't turn (nuther reason)...Floyds don't pull back onto/into the body (nuther reason). All those things are fairly easily mitigated or just change em one at a time and never have to worry about it. Those are just some low hanging fruit reasons in addition to what the OP experienced (if it back-bows after 2 months it probably moves at least a tiny bit during string change).
 
It's hard to clean the fingerboard and frets when you do one at a time. All you need to do is stick something under the bridge so it doesn't pull back.
