I think I noted this a couple of days back, when someone asked me about 
this.  I would briefly note three additional things on this:

A) He is addressing this to folks who have already "bought into" the system 
(i.e., it's in the fourth release of material for BNW rather than the 
first);

B) He says he is addressing it to the small minority (about 10%) of BNW 
customers ("experienced roleplayers") that don't like the character/power 
creation stuff; and

C) He is basically acknowledging something that goes on anyway in many RPGs 
that are bought and subsequently "adapted" anyway by individual GMs
