5e is built upon a balance between classes, races, stats etc... if you start to undo or remove certain classes, or stats ability to impact the the game, then issues arise...
You are preaching to the choir @Aurora42. After two years and final EA update behind us, I just keep my expectations low. I think I more or less know what the game will be - I hope it will be a better game in 1.0, but I don't expect to play in August a different game than the one I played for the last two years. By all means, keep your optimism. I hope you won't be disappointed, and I will be very pleasantly surprised.
