Definitely. It's best to leave it be.

Too true. It might have been nice if D10s were used from the start instead of D6s just to
push back the TN 6/7 hump a bit, but it's not really important.

I agree that it wouldn't fit precisely with the system, but it's definitely possible.
After doing a nice long recreational project of figuring out the probabilities of TNs 2
through 20 with anywhere from 1 - 20 dice, I could easily see using the resulting tables
as percentile charts. I wouldn't do it because I like the current system, but it's
certainly feasible if someone wanted to roll a percentile and look up on the chart how
many successes they obtained. At least it would save a little time once you got used to
it. I just prefer to roll buttloads of dice. ;)
