This is a short proposal to increase the points used in character creation from 30 to 32. This would be a retroactive change affecting all characters, and if implemented would allow a slight degree of retooling to stats.
I base this on the premise that, while 28 points is the mathematical average points value for 4d6-L, 32 is closer to the average points value of 4d6-L using the restrictions set by the Player's Handbook of at least one ability with a minimum of 14 and a total modifier for all abilities of +1 or better. 30 is also fairly close, but I just think 32 is a better choice.
I'm adding this to the archivomatic because I'd like to discuss this eventually.
