It's absolutely ridiculous. The proposed system guarantees that at least 8 UEFA teams that are ranked in the top 48 won't qualify. Meanwhile, it guarantees that an Asian team ranked outside the top 80 and an Oceania team outside the top 100 will make it.
In the last 3 World Cups Asian teams have a combined record of 5 wins, 23 losses and 10 draws...wouldn't that warrant losing places rather than gaining them?
How is UEFA not fighting this?
