At this point with the state of the game, I would rather see USPSA hit the reset button on divisions and do something like:
Open Major (same rules as current open)
Open/Optics Minor (same rules as current limited guns but with slide ride optics in minor only)
Limited Major (same rules as current limited)
Limited Minor (same rules as current limited but minor PF only)
LoCap - 10 round minor, 8 round major, any gun is legal
Revo - Could arguably nuke this one other than for revo nationals.

With the current division setup and stage design trends, I see hardly any low cap division shooters anymore. My local club had 3 total low cap shooters this past weekend out of 36. USPSA leadership has effectively killed off production, and I think it's due to the capacity more than anything else. There is also almost no difference between production and limited guns anymore, so they might as well just combine them into a high cap minor division.
