15 min was a way of giving everyone the same amount of racing time in qulaifying if we dropped from 6 rounds to 4.
To fair when you look at the true meaning of what "Qualifying" means, is that it determines the starting order for the main race.
Under current AARCMCC rules this is not the case, in fact, if we were to use qualifying as a true means of positioning everyone for the finals (the real race) we would be using the ABC Final system instead of odd and even as we do now.
The ABC Final system is the only way you can truly place everyone in the finals from there qualifying result.
By moving to allow the top 4 or 5 bump straight into the A-Main is getting closer to a "fair" result, the fact that there are still 10 positions (using 15 car finals) avialable in the A-main means that positions 6 -15 supossedly after qualifying have to re-qualify again defeats the original purpose of qualfiying in the first place
