Ha! I would like to swing back around to what Gregor was working on. Have you talked with him? Wasn't sure if this was a project you were already working on.

I would add more guidance on how to make the relationship map good and spicy. Lots of folks look at the bond questions and think they're "boring." But I get a real spicy mess of a situation out of them!
I would not add new economies. Gregor's 2E draft did that and it diffuses the laser focus.

That's a great question. Keeping in mind I have in fact played Gregor's 2E WIP...
Probably tighten up the playbooks, for the most part. Each book has at least one meh move.
Clean up the basic moves, ie Speak Sense needs to be fixed.
Otherwise I'm not sure I would change a lot mechanically.

If your play is sport then it's absolutely how you write rules. Advantages earned to achieve victory etc.
Imagine a version of football where referees had the option of making the field "more interesting" midgame. There would be riots.
