If you change the submission format, it will have negative impact for both sides. It will confuse the players and more importantly will create more work for you.
To clarify, I don’t think a format update should be retroactively applied by the maintainer; it should merely apply to future submissions. Partial quality improvements are preferable to perfect consistency (and I say this from experience, for what that’s worth). Moving WPS to passives might be troublesome, that’s true, especially since the submission process is not automated.
Honestly, the main thing I’d like to see is the enucleation of “WPS skills: none” from future submissions. It’s just… so pointless. :(
There isn’t a single build by Pareto in compendium in the first place, so I guess it’s not the issue of the build submitter but issue of the user instead.
