It does to me and that's all that matters. For the record, since we don't care about tradition and legacy anymore, just do away with the divisions and leagues and just take the top 12 records as playoff teams.

If you cared about tradition and legacy then you should be ok with the idea of doing away with divisions since started in the 69. For a team in the middle of a healthy contention window all that matters is setting yourself up for playoff success. With the current rules that means being the 1st or 2nd best division winner. At this point, the 3rd best division winner is just as important as a wild card.
