I prefer GRRM's suggestion: that the magazine category be "Best Magazine," rather than "Best Professional" (or "Best Semipro").
Are you then calling for the abolition of Best Fanzine?
What this proposal does is end the distinction between "Professional" and "Semi-Professional." Any magazine that pays its contributors or charges for copies would be "Professional," and this would include all of the existing semiprozines. Anything else would be a Fanzine.
You seem to be saying that there should be one and only one Magazine category. Is this what you mean to do?
