The most substantial change, of course, is that suits would no longer be allowed to extend past the knee.
My personal opinion is this is sort of an arbitrary change. What really should be changed--if anything--is what types of materials are allowed and maybe testing protocol to approve a suit. I don't really think requiring suits to end at the knees would affect much.

I say instead that for 12 & under tech suits are one less thing to be on that list of unfair items.
No one has been harmed by not allowing them (except perhaps the suit makers).
I weigh more heavily the advantages of growing the sport over allowing the kids with spendy parents to wear an expensive suit.
