Too Early in the Lane

I'm sure you know this but to clarify for everyone, the foot doesn't have to hit the floor for a violation to occur. When the foot breaks the FT lane plan, the player has violated.

I don't think the rule is going to change. Rough play is an ongoing POE. If you allow players to enter on the release then you get a lot of totally unnecessary rough play on made FTs.
