The natural option is not, unlike what you might believe, to de-emphasize content that isn't favored by the players (because that is a lot of work gone waste) but to make said content better so that players will like it.

While the community's logic is "The current incarnation of system X is not good, SO AXE IT and do something else from the scratch."

Because it just makes sense to de-emphasize a lot of content that can be made good in a few simple or slightly larger tweaks.
