Really hope they become no way semi-official.
Characters look impossible to kill now. They must have forgot most characters have 5+ wounds now.
The army building is too restrictive on armies such as skaven and goblins that rely on lots of cheap heroes.
Blah
it literally says "completely unofficial" in the first paragraph...

You are right, those things are useful. What I didn't like were the annoying 40K style wound-allocation rules.
I don't know... what's so bad about them? Models dying in front rows? I think it's reasonable - it's often the front guys that get shot first anyway and laying a devastating barrage should be keeping enemies away from your missile troops... unless you meant something else. :-)
Considering how fast models in AoS close with the enemy, I think removing models from the front of a unit is a welcome addition. It also makes sense too.
