Not gonna happen, unless she gets Erase(ga) and Cure(ga) that don't suck.

Removing the retarded penalty of Avatar's Favor is long overdue. If anything, the favor should be an automatic aura the Avatar has upon summoning (that affects the avatar itself). No more resets with BPs and scaling in power with time and no more -Atk/MAB. Ain't nobody got time for that.
I don't think we really need more damaging Blood Pacts, let lv70 physical BPs scale better with levels and I'd be fine. Magic damage is ok now, even if less seconds on the BP timer would be even better.
Also, remove lunar phase and time of day shenanigans from Fenrir and Diabolos (and make Wards like Noctoshield and Dream Shroud scale better with level/smn. magic).

We've been saying these things for years now, looking at what we're getting with Cait Sith makes me think the dev has no clue whatsoever.
Fixing Avatar's Favour would actually really push SMN in a very different and positiv direction:
- enlarge the radious form 10 feet to 25 feet so you dont have to send your avatar in if you dont want to (if you are buffing melees)
- remove the BP penalty
- make the favour autocap right at start instead building up for 3 min until your avatar dies... over and over and over again or you use a BP.

the buffs are very nice, they just are useless, because: 1. you need to build them up and 2. your avatar has to be in range of people (so possible in range of melees/mobs) which means your avatar will die fast, which means you have to build the favour up again....
It is one buff an avatar's favour offers vs I dont know how many buffs other jobs can hand out. I dont see any problem with the changes I suggested, it surely wouldnt break the job...
