Plans are roughly done for a WB-SB flyover at at Airport Trail and Deerfoot, and they're going to cram a half interchange with southbound access at 128 Ave, i.e. between CHB and Stoney. Both projects will go once required and money is found, taking a bit of weight off that weave.

Agreed. And looking at how they went to great lengths in the SE by not giving Cranston and McKenzie direct access, it confuses me as to why they'd put such a short weave on the north side at potentially the busiest intersection in the city, and maybe the province. I'm guessing oversight, as there's no way they couldn't have projected that the rest of NNE/NNW wouldn't fill out in 10-20 years. It is essentially a cloverleaf flaw, only (barely) mitigated by it being on a separated lane/road.
