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.

Traveller has been using 1.5 meter squares on deckplans for over 45 years, and it has worked fine from them, but they make it easier by not requiring a grid (for most versions). The referee just counts the squares and (depending on which of the many versions of Traveller you are using) say...

RPG's are technical writing. They convey information about a specific field of study. A D&D DMG is, or at least should be as informative about D&D as a Chilton's manual would be about a type of car. However they should also be entertaining to read, and these goals are sometimes antithetical.

Elminster? Is that you?

Yes, many people would likely agree that going from 5.0 to 5.5 can count as a new edition of D&D. Fewer would likely agree that going from 2.0 to 2.01, or even 2.1, if the changes end up being bigger than they sound, counts as a new edition of PF. YMMV.
