I'm fine with options and sidebars... even the basic ads/disads of the Superworld book... but I think they need to keep them as simple and unobtrusive as the core system... and clearly as options.
One of the biggest gripes you hear about GURPS is about how many rules there are... how 'complicated' it is... when most all of the bulk is options and the core system is pretty clear and uncomplicated.
I'd hate to see the BRP fans get all factionalized over the importance of ads/disads or use of fate points... cause I think those things are flavors/spices rather than being the main course.
