Chainrings do annoy me. I can see that having the cranks fixed to a hollow axle running within sealed bearings is perhaps a better solution than a square-taper bottom bracket, but asymmetric 4-bolt chainrings seems like the most marginal of marginal gains at the expense of a huge amount of convenience in 5-bolt designs.
