Yeah, important and awesome in every way except the one that counts: Taiyang isn't the main character. So no matter how many threads connect back to him, he will never have the same relevance to the series as Ruby or even Yang.

I prefer TRQS over QRTS because the latter is far too ambiguous. There's no one color that it indicates and that irritates the hell out of me. Just as surely as I would be irritated by some lame new story arc where Raven is revealed to be Yang's dark alterverse clone twin from her mother's comatose imagination, I find the team name QRTS just to be completely unworkable. Sure, there is some poetry to the idea that Qrow is the team leader, he and Ruby both wielding scythes and all. But, again, I say no. Just no. No to QRTS. No to the whole thing.

Also, there's been no hint that Qrow has spent any time searching for his sister. At all. Even if he has, Taiyang being leader doesn't change the other stuff.

How long did people doubt the R in the team name? Much less that she would be named Raven. But QRTS and TRQS are the only two team names that make sense with Taiyang, Qrow, and Summer. And Qrow's sister would had to have had a similar bird name. Hence when TRQS and subsequently Raven were initially suggested, I instantly backed them both. And I don't normally back just any theory.
