The point is that the yellow card is not a penalty. In order to get the yellow card you have or are coming close to violating the rules. Why don't we couple the yellow card with a 10 second penatly, there's a tangible penalty. It's not a slap on the wrist and it's not a DQ. It seems to me like it's the perfect balance.
I think the time based penalty is great. There can be different times for different violations. I like this system because some resolution can be built into the system.
