I'm not going to fall on my sword over it, and with 6 votes for already at this point, it's probably not worth wasting many more key strokes about it.

Unintended? I've used these formations in my local league for years. What Matt describes is exactly what the intent here is (IMO at least). The ability to field more flexible lineups will allow teams to remain competitive when injures or byes or lack of cap space hit them. The rigidity of the 2RB rule has forced teams to start garbage on several occasions (hell, just look at the garbage I had to reach down to this past year when injuries decimated my top 3 RB's), which results in less competitive matchups and skews the standings. The extra formations allow teams to remain within their budget, and play to their strengths. If that strength is at WR or TE, so be it. At least we'll be playing each others best week in and week out.
