Scimitar

Sorry if this has already been asked, and answered, but someone on the WotC boards posted this, and I have the same question:

Does the scimitar need errata?

Well, it ought to be finesseable, IMHO.

This is a 4th Ed rules question.

But this is the General RPG Rules Discussion …?

Okay, so where should I post this?

Ok, but I still really do think the Scimitar should be finessable!

Why do you think it needs errata?
It's a one-handed, high crit, heavy blade. It's got a +2 to hit and does 1d8. I don't see why it would need errata.
It's less accurate than a longsword, and not very good for two-handed use, but is just as damaging and able to slice viciously with luck. It seems fine and balanced to me.
