However minor the change, it would end up alienating some one, or some group. That alienation would then result in the loss of that person's, or that group's input of knowledge, skill, vision, in short, all that the rest of us could learn from that person, or that group.
I'm not just referring to the "learning of how to do things", but also the lessons of how "not to do things". To see the true picture of our hobby, we need all the colors, all the brush strokes, and all the tear outs, and rebuilds.
Perhaps, even the expense, and/or convenience also need not be changed. Adversity, really only leads us to find new ways, new ideas, new skills. Altogether not really a bad thing.
On the other side of that coin, the current set-up probably alienates some as well, depriving the hobby of the same things.
When one door closes, another one opens, right?
