FIG backtracking on code changes?

I’m REALLY looking forward to shorter, more spectacular routines in the next quadrennial.

All the changes I’ve heard rumoured have been improvements.

Now this:

… the real question floating around message boards is whether the FIG has decided to scrap the new eight-element requirement on bars, beam and floor to return to the 10-element requirement of the previous quad. A lot of gymnastics fans heralded this as an attempt by the FIG to reemphasize good choreography and dance. But rumor has it that because MAG didn’t want to change from 10 to 8, the FIG may have decided to keep WAG at 10 for consistency’s sake. …

The C Score – Where is the 2009 Code of Points?

That would be a HUGE mistake.
