Last year the changes were announced on February 12. What makes you think they are struggling to announce anything?

That doesn't solve the problem of teams not having anyone numbered 50-79 on the field.
I don't see what the big deal is. If it is obvious that a kick may be attempted then the numbering exception may be used. It really isn't that hard to recognize kicking situations when they come up. I've never asked myself "what is this team doing?" when a team lined up in a SKF.
