Ditto on making a skill-attribute system (skill+attribute/2). Heck,
you could do it now if you wanted to (as a house rule), figuring out
what the closest attribute is on the skill web and linking the skill
to that. Those skills that are way out on the skill web (more than 2
dots from an attribute) could be "solo" skills (they aren't averaged
with any attribute). And if someone doesn't have the skill they roll
half their attribute at +2. If it's a "solo" skill it can't be
attempted at all. Anyway, I'd like to see something like that.
