You know... for an edition whose primary edict is putting more power back into the DM's hands... there's an awful lot of DMs who apparently don't want to take that power and just choose to swap out the Reaper feat they don't like for another feat that they do.
If the feat exists, you either choose to use it or you don't. And if its mere existence is enough for you to decide you aren't going to play the game... then there's no real reason to follow along with its development, because if its not Reaper, there will definitely something else that'll make you declare the game dead and buried for you somewhere along the way. Save yourself the time and just play whichever game you're currently playing. Either that, or accept that there will be the occasional rule you'll have to adapt/change when the game gets released.
