That is a plot twist i can get behind. Precisely why I figure Qrow as leader/sensory type, Raven as scout, Summer as ace, and Taiyang as muscle.

Because then the current dynamic would be that Qrow trained ruby and Yang out of feeling that he failed on all levels as a leader, while Taiyang felt he wasn't strong enough, and Raven either left trying to prove she could complete the mission(or was superior to Summer)... and all of those dynamics would need to rapidly change as they encounter/interact with RWBY.

Whereas the only benefit to Summer as leader would be a Ruby rehash of Summer... except the main lead in of episode one indicates RWBY will take a large departure from the former team I find lacking in a rehash.
