One thing many people on CP display is a rigid adherence to first impressions. They hated this program when they heard of it and have now locked themselves into the opinion until the end of time.
In practice, the FaF program is the exact same thing Toronto does with honouring numbers. The only real problem is that the Flames gave it a dumb name rather than simply referring to it as being an honour system.
When you get right down to it, 9. 12. 14 and 30 are already retired numbers. What they call the ceremony and how they design the banners makes no difference in the practical sense. Hell, I think they should realign Lanny and Vernon's banners to match MacInnis'. A consistency in banner design would be beneficial.
