Let's pretend that you could make one bizarre request that you could make for 5th edition and WOTC had to honor your request. What would it be?

My request would be to get rid of the 6 ability scores and make up some completely new ones.

Anyone else have some crazy requests that will never happen?

I want Fraal to be a core race.

Why, yes, as a matter of fact I am the Unfailing Arbiter of All That Is Good Design (Even More So Than The Actual Developers) TM

Speaking of things that were badly designed, please check out this thread for my Minotaur fix. What have the critics said, you ask?
"If any of my players ask to play a Minotaur, I'm definitely offering this as an alternative to the official version." - EmpactWB
"If I ever feel like playing a Minotaur I'll know where to look!" - Undrave
"WoTC if you are reading this - please take this guy's advice." - Ferol_Debtor_of_Torm
"Really full of win. A minotaur that is actually attractive for more than just melee classes." - Cpt_Micha

Also, check out my recent GENASI variant! If you've ever wished that your Fire Genasi could actually set stuff on fire, your Water Genasi could actually swim, or your Wind Genasi could at least glide, then look no further.

Finally, check out my OPTIONS FOR EVERYONE article, an effort to give unique support to the races that WotC keeps forgetting about. Includes new racial feature options for the Changeling, Deva, Githzerai, Gnoll, Gnome, Goliath, Half-Orc, Kalashtar, Minotaur, Shadar-Kai, Thri-Kreen, Warforged and more!

A classless and levelless point buy module.

Classes as a set of pre-selected options against a backdrop of a classless (but still level-based) system.

Or if that's not crazy enough, armor as DR with class-based defense bonus. 
The metagame is not the game.

How about returning to using races as classes. Elf class, dwarf class, halfling class, etc.

just kidding.

How about a basic version that a 4year old can play so I could play with my daughter?

I feel like some people are missing the point of bizarre.

Darksun halflings (2nd ed mechanics can vary) as core halflings.
Reducing a character to a list of dice rolls and modifiers is not role playing*

*pg 30, AD&D 2nd Ed DMG, 1989.
