I felt that the new qualifying system worked quite well for Q1 and Q2. It was unfortunate that it was such a disaster for Q3. And now the new qualifying is staying for Bahrain because RBR and McLaren wanted to get rid of it entirely. They didn't want to compromise on a new solution of keeping Q1 and Q2 as it is and changing Q3 to the old format, which would have been the sensible approach. Then they could have tried tweaking it in a couple of races once it has been better thought out. The new qualifying system just needs a few tweaks is all.
This goes back to a core issue currently facing F1 and that is that McLaren and RBR shouldn't have the power to block qualifying changes if it is in the best interest of the sport. They should be told that this is the way it is going to be and that's it.
About the last one "Opening for teams with support from a manufacturer, but not a official manufacturer." - isn't this OK already now? I mean M-sport is not an official manufacturer. Or what did you...
