These feats suggest more to me that WotC saw some potential merit in complaints about The Math and wanted to offer something for those players / DMs who thought it needed fixing. IMO it's easier for players who don't see a problem with the math to ignore the feats than it is for those who do to take them if they weren't printed... But that does run afoul of pretty much any assumption of reasonable levels of optimization.Having said that I do see the problems that Nifft, keterys, and others have with the feats as-is, and I wish that there had been a sidebar included, explaining the presence of these feats and offering either banning them or making them bonus feats as suggestions. Alternately something like this could be an article on DDI, but I think if some significant number of players are going to have an issue with them it's much better to put that info in print. Overall, however, I'd like to see a lot more "behind the scenes" info on the design process, but I'm not sure if enough of WotC's customer base do to make this feasible.</blockquote>
