When I asked Ryan (Dancey) about it, he told me he had suggested it during the design of 3e... but was out-voted.Iku Rex said:(I wish they'd used the metric system from the beginning. I mean, those medieval measurments are flavorful and all, but no modern person should be expected to put up with that archaic nonsense.)

I, myself, suggested it to the 2e team back in 1989... and was almost laughed out of the room (at a GenCon Q&A).
You know what they say, they're going metric, inch by inch...
