I can't find any problems with it. Every fu'ivla that starts with
a consonant and ends in a single vowel and is not "nice" (as defined in
http://www.lojban.org/wiki/index.php/nice%20fu%27ivla%20forms )
can get a rafsi.

What about allowing rafsi ending in V'y for those forms that end in more 
than one vowel (but not a diphthong)? So for example a fu'ivla like
{sarpra'i} could have sarpra'y- as a rafsi. That would leave very
few forms without rafsi, besides all those that start with a vowel.
