Fighter "light blade specialization" requires Martial achievements

All light blades grant Subterfuge, but a fighter who wants to train his light blade feature needs to collect Martials.

Can we get a martial-based light weapon (e.g. gladius) for Dex fighters?

I also noticed in one of the later Alpha builds that most of the fighter features went back to being gated on STR only and not allowing DEX builds to progress. Did that stick or is it back to OR working? I'm working on a Ranger build and was planning on working longbow and fencing for my weapons which both go off DEX so I really don't want to have to train another set of weapons to meet a stat gate I don't want.

Light blade feature is also a little bit weird the other way around:
Only subterfuge types use light blades, but to use said feature, you'll need martial points. There could be some mid-ground there, I think.

Light Blade Specialization is itself an edge case; it provides keywords that match maneuvers that provide flat-footed, but is mutually incompatible with sneak attack.
