Never stopped SE before. Considering how crazed SE has become in "streamlining" classes, I can see a number of ways they could do that for BRD.

They could merge both DoTs into 1, just like they did with Healers, which means Iron Jaws could be cut.
Burst Shot/Refulgent, Ladonsbite/Shadowbite, and Wanderer's Minuet/Pitch Perfect could be merged.
Despite their differences, I could see Battle Voice being changed to a low level version of Radiant Finale just for laughs.
Nature's Minnie and Warden's Paean could technically be merged into a single buff that removes debuff and grants extra healing on the target.
Repelling Shot could be cut entirely, as could Leg and Foot Graze.

That's 10 abilities that could very easily be cut if SE wanted to. I don't support it but it's doable. They already separated DoTs from interacting with your Songs so it just seems like the most logical next step into streamlining the job to be almost as shallow as SMN is.
