If that's the case then I would actually propose to remove it altogether, because it's already governed by the "DM's best aid". I'd already give my players a +2 circumstance bonus if they put effort into their character background and an appropriate situation arises. This is documented in the DMG.

It's an optional rule subject to DM approval; if it's not to your taste, you don't have to use it. I personally prefer this method to the DMG method, but peoples' opinions will vary. At least you have the choice!
