A skill system would move FMA closer to being a core system for a
role-playing game, which might not be a bad thing, overall.
Certainly nothing else has stepped up to take the place of Traveller.

In their new miniatures game (called "Vor"), FASA figured out how to do
something that no other game company has done yet: add a role-playing
system to the miniatures game, so that players can improve their units
in
between games, and keep track of their units from one battle to the
next.
Even if there's nothing else to recommend the game, that will keep their
players coming back for more.
