I'm not sure where you got that impression. Can you point at a specific post or comment that says that?
And my apologies if I've sent out a conflicting message over the long and tortured development process on this game book.
It's very much a core set of rules whose main goal was to be consistent between previous BRP games and generic enough to serve as a platform for most (if not all) settings or genres a GM wants, with optional rules to add complexity if desired, or to reduce it in some cases.
What it
isn't is revisionary.
