I was thinking of trying somthing radically different with regards to stat generation in my next game. Basically I'll remove all the stops. Players can use any generation method they want, 4d6 drop the lowest, 32 point buy, heck they can pick the numbers (up to a maximum of 18 before racial mods) they want and write them on their character sheet. I keep my DM fiat however as well as the unique spell known as "rocks fall" which may spontaniously eradicate anyone that has abused the system. Overall my group is reasonably mature and I expect that they would come up with reasonable characters but I wanted to hunt for other oppinions too. I'm sure that other people have taken approches like this before so I'd like to hear what other peoples experiances are.
