The current way of describing stats IS harmful to the game. I DM for a bunch of new players, and while, "Your modifier is your stat minus ten halved rounded down" might seem harmless nostalgia to you, it makes no sense to them at all.
This sacred cow needs to die. I'm not saying it's a huge deal, it's just that getting rid of needless complexity is very worthwhile if you want to attract new players to the game.
Whenever I introduce a new player to the game, the point-buy system makes their eyes cross. Rolling 4d6-drop-lowest is vastly preferable to point buy for new players.
The game should return to a point where that is a valid means of generating characters, and should retain ability scores and not just the modifiers.
