So it's not like their is no precedence for it. And in terms of job displeasure SMN is second only to NIN.
I don't think you understand. Summoner in particular has an ongoing problem of various people asking to get it reworked from scratch and sharing their own ideas of what it should be, mainly because it doesn't fit their idea of what a FF Summoner should be. I'm pretty sure that's what they meant by people asking for a rework.

It's not a bad thing. It's good to be passionate about the job and to share creativity, but it's very unrealistic. Reworks never have been on a grand scale like most of these people ask for, even big reworks like 4.0 Bard and 5.0 Machinist weren't. If Summoner gets reworked (yet again) it will still retain most of its skills, abilities and gimmicks. That and we won't really see a big rework until 6.0.
