I recently made a "talented kid" sort of character with a few fields of expertise for a game. Unfortunately, the GM is fond of some of 3e's foibles and ported them into his 4e games - in this case, the age limit on skill points. (I tried to explain to him that points don't actually mean anything and that the rule was intentionally thrown out, but he remains unconvinced.) I tried to make it work with Talents, but it just cost too much for too little effect and I ended up pumping IQ instead.
Admittedly, if he wasn't using house rules, it might not have been an issue. But that, plus some complaints here, got me thinking about alternatives. If this is a solution in search of a problem in your games, congrats.
