The point is that, whether you like it or not, abolishing something that most people are very strongly relying on for the last third of their life is something that's going to be incredibly complicated and met with a lot of opposition.

By all means, re-think away as you like, but don't be surprised when a lot of people aren't exactly a fan of what you come up with.
