Less years ahead means better reaction times on improvements to the games. I think future games will get consistently better, the more "bad ideas" have been eliminated, and the more good element combinations are found.
I believe how it works is they have the basic game set for next year but they are still testing and changing little things. This leads me to believe that if it is a small rule that everyone hates, it could easily be fixed.
