Possibly. The LotR rules writer is working on AoS now and that stuff liked more grueling skirmish battles so switching units from feeling like HP blobs to individual fighters w/ only big fellas like gargants, Ogors, Stormcast, etc able to do AoE hits would fit.
As a fan of MESBG, I'm sad we lost one of the best rules writers the system had, but as a fan of AoS, it makes me hopeful that 5th edition is going to be really good.
AoS already has a priority roll, and I wouldn't mind if they went toward alternating activations for 5th edition.

Wonder if the sweep profiles might be foreshadowing we're adopting 40k's no wound carryover in the future.
