I was thinking of a cap of 20 still but letting each race be able to exceed in certain stats to 22. This might still allow the old way of saying that halflings are dexterous and goliaths are strong.
Then I found myself contradicting myself with magic books and such raising stats, and, well -it's magic. So that should count as well.
Not sure if both ideas are valid if you read a book and are a goliath raising to 24 now, but it is a start to think about.

that's just going into ability inflation,
but, I do miss my 3.5e red wizard/archmage with 28 Int and spellcasting prodigy with spell DC of; "GO F YOURSELF!"
Howevery, in retrospect, I see that this kind of ability boosting is bad for the game.

no increases to abilities over levels?

Just over levels and through items and boons. feats and ASIs should never have been interchangable.
14 for you, 25 for me.
Why? Because I am both petty and old school. But I repeat myself.
