You know, I hope they do a little more with PL. It was okay for balancing some combat powers, but I never worried about that very much. It was actually more troublesome to me that a speedster could be nearly anywhere on Earth in minutes, or that characters might be able to lift staggering amounts of weight. That is far more significant to me as far as the campaign goes than one character being a killer in combat.
Those are things that the GM can limit, if they don't want their game to be a high-power universe (like DC Comics). If you want to model a more realistic world, just put a cap on things like that... but don't change the ruleset, because it works for me.
