I think it makes sense actually, the farther back you go, the less likely there are to be forgotten players who haven't had their fair shake. No need to have a pre war committee meeting every year.
IMO, the HOF could solve the ENTIRE issue if they would switch from a "vote for ten" to a strict "yes/no" on every player on the ballot. If a player gets 75% yes, he gets in. None of this holding a vote stuff, and none of this "gotta save a vote from a superstar so i can try and keep XYZ on the ballot for next year."
not to mention it would help clear any potential logjams in the future. so what if one year 11 guys get inducted?
