I agree whole heartedly. As a Magic player since 4th edition, I truly understand that the game has to evolve. Evolution is good considering new technology, game play ( I hated ante, but loved mana burn), etc. So when Alchemy came out, I saw this as an online evolution due to the mechanics that can be introduced which would be very difficult in paper. However, I always saw Historic as an option similar to Modern, Pioneer, etc. The two should not meld into one. If Historic is going to be akin to Alch3,y, then we need an eternal format that mimics paper.
