In the interview, Judkins talks about fundamental changes he has made to RJ's gender-based world building. The following Judkins quote annoys me: "It’s a very fundamental change actually to make to the book series, and it has a lot of ripple effects, and we’ll continue to do things like that I think are more reflective of what hopefully Robert Jordan would be writing if he was writing today."

Uggh. Rather than change the world building to what you hope RJ would write if he thought the same way you do, how about stick to the world building that RJ actually did write and only make the kinds of changes that are necessary when going from book to film. I'm not encouraged by this.
Another website got me angry about it (not the interview but the responders to it) even though I am agree with the principle Judkins said, but the details matter and thus I feel we need to do a Wait and Find Out.

You're right, it's all about the money and projecting whether RJ would approve is spin.

I'm fairly certain RJ would have approved of making money, though! *NM*

Many of the storylines around Perrin became tedious but would be less so with editing.
