Brian Enos current opinion on the sport is akin to Ken Hackathorne’s... of historical interest but not applicable as they don’t regularly and actively compete.

Evolve or die. If the organization is healthy enough, I don’t really care what the particular rules are.
I see enough young and enthusiastic people entering the sport every year that I’m not concerned about the future of the sport. Unlike IDPA or bowling pin leagues that the average age of competitor would qualify them for reduced cost breakfast at Denny’s.
Is the parent org healthy? Check.
Are there fun people at matches. Check.
Do I have fun at matches. Check.
Do I care about changing rules? Nope, as long as they apply to everyone.
