Other than expense, and /or convenience though, When we consider the diversity of knowledge, talent, interests, environment, likes, and dislikes.......and all the rest, world wide, there's not a thing I'd seek to change.
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.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
