Well, it would cost us many thousands of dollars at the store, since people would stop buying 5e. It would also destroy the last vestiges of my hope of WOTC ever doing something sensible.
D&D (2024) What would change for you if Wizards started calling it 6E?

Some people already stopped buying. Some people would (and have) doubled down on buying the last of the edition.

in another thread @Maxperson pointed out what a failure the CR system is. IF they where calling it 6e they could redraw systems from the ground up to fix issues like that.

What stops them from correcting CR for onednd?

Tradition at this point.
I'm guessing making any meaningful change to CR would be hard to pull off while maintaining full backwards compatibility.

Game Inertia. A rule in motion tends to stay in motion while a rule at rest stays as rest.

CR is pretty much like alignment; it's a legacy mechanic with a small amount of descriptive utility but virtually no mechanical use.

the thing is it doesn't need to be 'corrected' as much as a ground floor redo. Something that is well outside the scope paying lip service to back compatibility.

Ah, if you dont like the system itself then its a long wait for a train that dont come.
