I wouldn't mind there being more sources of gear later on in the patch cycle, nor would I mind if the lockout for savage was removed during the next major patch. I would love to see alliance raids drop ilvl equivalent to the savage tier as both an alternate source of gear for savage raiders but also for the dopamine hit of getting that shiny upgrade from the raid for casuals. I guess I don't get the logic behind the ~8 month wait for the raid to be unlocked immediately before the next raid drops and how if you get unlucky in PF groups you can be waiting months to get fully geared on one job/role, let alone wanting to be geared on something else. Past the ~4 months of a patch cycle with the savage raid release I don't get why anyone would care if they made it easier for someone to gear up.

That being said I am a casual player who really doesn't care about gearing my characters.
