Keeping the championship alive to the end of season is implicitly meant to please the race promoters, not to mention the TV networks who take a bath every time a season like 2011 or 2013 happens. This is of course artificial knee jerk reaction, but what did you expect from the greedy people who run the F1? Bernie has a history of backing whacked knee-jerk rule change proposals every time the interest of fans starts falling after a "bad" season.
