An interesting suggestion to contemplate.

Just for reference, using data from the Perlmonks Stats page, here is how the numbers at each level would differ, if compared at this moment:

Current system Proposed system

(10) saint>= 3_0001 - 32240

Has anyone plugged this information in the simulation script that someone posted to compare how long it would take a user to advance through the system with how long it would take through the current system?
