This might be a double edge sword from the green card seekers point of view.
On one hand, people already in the process would be able to negotiate and/or seek new employers.
On the other hand it would be harder to convince employers about new sponsorships because the "you will retain me for 10+ years" argument will not be valid anymore.
Overall it would be a big improvement on the current system and would certainly clean up some of the "cheap labor vs. talent shortage" mess.

Also removes the issue of wanting a green card desperately but also wanting to move on from your current job.
