I, for one, am very excited about PF2.

And as such, I would like to throw my two cents in on changes that can be made to the alignment system.

Work around the remarks based on this article: Alignment

It pretty much boils down alignment into two categories (ethic and moral) and uses real life views on how we describe behavior. There would be no need to even convolute the subject with new names, simply change alignments to be read in the mind as "chaotic and evil" for CE or "lawful and good" for LG. This allows you great flexibility on how to interpret alignment and definitely gives paladins a much needed break from the beating they take on LG vs paladin threads.

I would hate to see the paladin disappear, but that is for another thread.

I just read the blog on alignments by the Ethics PHD dude and was amazed. Indeed alignment cna be explained in a better way than the books do it atm.

Haven't yet had a chance to read more than a small part of it, but linkified anyway.
