yes! 1000% i'm totally on board with that change in gymnastics. Age is an interesting point too. I don't know how I feel about that idea. Though I do like that there are non-elite competitions (but still like .1% level..) with age groupings by decades that we can still fight in as we get older. My sport is climbing. Like a lot of sports now it too has become a youthful competition (though you can be nearly 40 and still be world class on real rocks). maybe because the type of climbing that competition climbing has morphed into (think jumping, parkour) is more gymnastic! 95% of the elite competitors are very young. But maybe it's just because the crop of competitors my age didn't grow up with that style and we'll see today's competitors who did grow up learning it stay competitive longer.
