I'm not sure I stand one way or another on this issue, I'm just interested in getting more thoughts.

If they were to always say 6 new teams per regional, it would total up to more then 400 teams that would qualify. I think the reason they added the wild card the way they did is that they took away the early registration for champs, and adding the wild card in the current way most likely evens out the teams that would have come from that.
