Pneumatic Restrictions & Improvments

In 2014 we saw a large upswing of people using pneumatic for their launching mechanism. This created quite a discussion on rules and legal restrictions for pneumatics.

If you are the GDC , How would you improve the pneumatics rules next year ?

For example.

Why are we limiting CV , tubing and port size ? (CD thread )

Why do we limit low-pressure to 60 psi compared to 70 or 80 psi ?

Are there any devices that could improve the pneumatic experience for most teams ?
