my 2 cents...Duals do mean something to HS coaches. That is why they bump/manipulate their line-ups constantly. They want the W. Most of the suggested changes though are easier to implement in college over HS. I see no harm in doing it. A forfeit (especially at college level) needs to be worth more than a pin. If you are at a college and can't fill a team that is *pathetic*. You should be penalized at college level for submitting a forfeit. Much more difficult to implement at HS level.
Recommendation for HS is that you need to use the classification system. Again, big schools should be able to fill full lineups. Smaller classification schools can have modified weight classes for duals. 6 weight classes in smallest division, then 8 weight classes and then 10 weight classes and then full lineups. Weight classes can be 100 - 112, 113 - 122, 123 - 134, 135 - 150, 151 - 170, 171 - 195, and 195 - 265. That's actually 7 weight classes but I'm honestly white boarding this as I go. Let someone else invest the hours of time. In this you still have your state weight classes for tournaments. The purpose is to make the duals exciting and mean something at all levels and finding a way to penalize forfeits.
As stated, let's support JB in pushing this at college level first.
