So the problem with this, is that the large blob infantry with 1" didn't need a year-long buff tied to a mission pack. They needed to work properly out of the core rules. Fight in two ranks should have been an update to the core rules not a conditional buff for your battleline units for one season.
I don't really care about GW's efforts to mix up the sigmar meta (it's taking long enough as is to get our new players drilled on last year's mission packs and realm rules!), I would rather see them permanently iron out the problems they introduced with the 3.0 core rules. I'm happy to use the rule while it exists but I'm not going to start building guys with 1" weapons knowing their days are numbered.

I temporarily feel less bad about all the guys I've already built with 1" weapons? I am looking forward to this though. Might get those bestigors back on the table.
Derek is of course 100% correct though. This is a core issue that needs to be fixed. I love of good portion of what they've done with 3.0, but trying to fight in ranks is a huge pain. I'm pretty done with saw-toothing all my 32mm models, trying to get at least the majority of the 10 man squad into combat.
I'm hoping that after this season they will decide how to best address the core rules, and do so.

It will be interesting to see if they touch coherency at all with the shift towards "infantry"

I'm gonna guess probably not and that the veterans rule is meant to help offset how punishing it is for big battleline blobs.
The real thing that we need to see to understand how this meta is gonna look is the (supposedly) more difficult battle tactics/grand strategies. That and the bounty hunter battalion, since +1 damage could be pretty game warping if it's big and inclusive.
