So a little ways into this interview with Jay Wilson and Andrew Chambers, I see this exchange:

This was not covered in the blogs, but users were wondering if there will be any changes to the lower ilvls dropping in Inferno?

We are okay with where it is now. We like that there are a number of different items that drop in Inferno. We like the decision making that it encourages players to engage in. We are still considering stuff.

Can someone please explain to me what "decision making" an iLvl55 item makes me engage in? Right now, I don't check item iLvls until I'm done with a run and sitting in town to vendor/salvage/ID/etc., and there's never been a "decision" when it comes to a low iLvl item in Inferno: sell.
