If it were Wizards of the Coast who introduced such a feature, I would immediately go from my current position of being certain of buying 4e whenever it is released to a position where I absolutely would not buy 4e (without a cast-iron guarantee of a reversal of the position, of course).At present, (effective) character level gives us a fixed marker of PC capabilities. Adding the concept you've described removes that marker for no actual benefit. If you want a more powerful character, why not just play at a higher level?(The difference between this and level adjustment is this: a character with a level adjustment still has an effective character level which, in theory, maps to a human character of the same level. The rules don't quite work as intended, but that's a flaw in implementation, rather than concept.)</blockquote>
