As a chess community we really need to move past this "them and us" mentality from the "elite" to the "lowly". (I hate these terms but they make the point) It just causes division where there need be none. I know I can be one of the biggest instigators on occasion but I will endeavor not to mention it unless it is ridiculous like Edinburgh last year.
To be clear: I have no issues with a 4/2/2 spread of the boards but if an Open has say 10 players maybe it should be reconsidered. However, I will not support this initiative if the ultimate aim is to soley use these boards in the top section with the so called "best" players.
