Silly though that Whanganui went unbeaten in the central fed league and still needed to do a playoff against Stop Out to go up... doesn't make much sense. 

If NZF really want such an open football pyramid, how about opening promotion and relegation up to truly reflect that - two relegations each year, Capital Premier and Central Fed champions both promoted. Would be excellent for supporting regional footy as well. Funnily enough with the Wairarapa and WU withdrawals its ended up that way anyway. 
The quality of teams in the central football fed league is... variable. That's not a critique so much as reality. I am not conviced there should be a guaranteed spot - but 1v2 in each respective divison might be a fun way to promote two teams.
