I think the discussion is very intriguing, especially since possible consequences do not have to be the "obvious" ones like Beginner Box 2. The opinions out there could be of a huge importance when it comes to a second edition of Pathfinder, or even to a general "way" the game might develop in the future.
My interpretation of what lies between the lines of this thread (and similar ones):
1.) The light and straight-forward "style" is wildly appreciated. Of course, the fact that this is indeed a BEGINNER Box with only 5 levels helps a lot, but I'm sure quite a percentage of the design decisions could partly be imported into the core (with appropriate changes, of course). I'm thinking, for example, about the item pictures. That 4-line-magic-descriptions and "do bla, do bla" as character progression will not work forever should be clear.
2.) Pathfinder is NOT "only" a reworked D&D anymore. There is, of course, a legacy, but PF has become much more of a game in its own right. Consequently, thoughts that might have been taboo until now could be considered again, AS LONG as the spirit of the game is preserved. I'm talking about notions like (boo-hoo) changing, replacing or simply leaving out some classes, races, spells, items, rules - or even character levels - when it comes to the Core Rules (just as an example).
The more I think about it, the more I get the impression that the Beginner Box and the Core Rules work together quite well - I think a "BB2" would be very... special (not to say redundant); let the community work on this one.
BUT, and I think that's shockingly obvious: The Beginner Box is now "state of the art" when it comes to Pathfinder design - and the core should adapt!
If I read the BB and follow it up with the core, I should not suffer a culture shock, I should think "Ah, it's the same, only more complex and with more options". This ties together with the two points before. A serious paradigm shift in book organisation and design would perhaps be most important, by far more important than rule changes - Pathfinder suffers from its heritage as well as from the fear of being not recognized as the legacy of 3.5. The Beginner Box, I claim, does not have these restrictions, as it was an "easy-going gimmick" (for the hardcore fans) from the beginning. In fact, BB feels a bit more like 4e design-wise, in a good way. And perhaps, the core should overcome it's heavy background too. The BB has opened a door, cunningly.
If it comes up, my understanding of "design" is a mixture of game design, graphics and organisation of text and rules.
