I just feel like it punishes the punting team too much.
If the kicker hits a great punt with good hang time then the punt coverage team gets caught flat footed since they are all stopping and trying to back peddle to avoid the penalty.
If he hits a bad punt it is pretty much a guaranteed penalty since the coverage team is going to out run the punt.
On top of that IMO the 15 yard penalty is too much for it.
