My thoughts are:
- I don't think that unbanning anything, even in great numbers, of what Smogon has banned to Ubers will be less problematic than what their current BW OU tier is like.
- Ultimately the argument is a mixture of tiering philosophy, pragmatism, and Pokemon Perfect's uniqueness. I don't think it's pragmatic to do a start-from-scratch approach to tiering BW, we really simply do not have the users dedicated to doing that. From a philosophical stand-point, some people might dislike on paper the Autoweather + Associated Speed-Boosting Ability Ban (I don't know what they call it actually) but I think that clauses like that do a good job of targeting the specific problematic aspects whilst having as little collateral as possible.
- We are open to obviously once we have this, following up with further bans etc. if deemed necessary.
