Actually lax was never by 1 year birth day spreads. It was always by skill level within a two year spread. That is an indisputable fact. Changing to a 1 year system would be an unnecessary adjustment. There are tryouts, so you end up at your skill level, only now closer to one year spreads using the grad year system. What is your argument with the old rec system, that you got to be older every other year? Is that really saying much about skill if you are waiting for every other year to say you think you've gotten better? This is silly, but liberals are on a particularly whiny streak these days.
