Agreed. What you have to weigh is the potential for a problem with the current design versus how kludgy the proposed fix to that problem is.
Bad sniping: CS AWPfest - I don't think many modern FPSers enjoy that.
Good counter: TF2 "charge" meter - Probably a direct response to AWP.
Personally, I think the proposal in this thread amounts to a Sniper Deadzone and I'm not a fan. It would feel bizarre. Charge/settle/breath systems impose a period of shot set-up which is natural for the tool but low exit velocity is almost purely artifice.
Whichever way their design falls, if there's an issue I hope it gets found and cut out in in beta. Making those kinds of changes in live rarely go well.
