It was as if my prayers are heard. I was beginning to spend so much time on RG components that are relatively less beneficial for the research community that my own research publishing was beginning to suffer. Now that the RG score will be unbundled, I will pay attention to what is more important to contribute.
I welcome the changes. The formula to compute individual domain aka interests score will be more specific. It will reduce the free loader phenomenon where robotic techniques were partially being used in the past to unfairly inflate RG scores.
Always with innovation, change and development, but what is important is to continue studying the returns, good not to show RG scores to reduce non-scientific competition

Disciplines are not the same and the priorities too .... It's very different when you're a student, a PhD, a young professor, or at the end of your academic career. These tools (metrics) must be used with great care.
I do not think there is a significant and serious change in the RG system, so I suggest that the Scores system should be abolished because of the many problems that were presented to it and its follow-up has become boring.

Change is the only constant phenomenon in this world. So,,,,,,,,,,Welcome!
Merry Christmas and a happy & prosperous new year to all my RG friends.
