I'm sorry - who said anyone. did. have. to. use. it?  In fact, you're 
quoting from the last paragraph of my message in which I say here's a 
potential and optional "fix" that may (or may not) work better.  What's the 
point of saying you don't have to use an "official" system (old or new) 
right after someone proposes an alternate system?  Seems kinda redundant to 
me.

Understanding the strengths and flaws, and picking which is suitable for 
your campaign of something like this is hardly "simple."  And in some cases, 
the new system _is_ better (if everyone wears light armor or none, for 
instance - not an unlikely occurrence).
