Too much sidecut is worse than not enough, IMO. Racing GS on a 12m ski would be dangerous because that ski wold always be looking to hook up and make 12m turns. the top FIS racers up through World Cuppers have been skiing skis in the 27m range for a while now, even with a 21m rule.
This rule will effect the first year J2 the most, as they are generally smaller than your average FIS racer.
