The team knows that 2.2 sectors had issues. That said there were some issues prior to that too.
The system is still needed to balance micromanagement on huge galaxies, but the devs' approach to redesigning it is changing. They'd rather take things a little slower and introduce the changes you've been asking for, over a few patches to address both the present and earlier issues.
It's never ideal to have to wait, but initial response I've seen online to the changes is good, so I hope you'll all like what's been done and what will follow. :)
