The AD&D splatbook 'The Complete Guide to Paladins' had good advice on how to RP delicate situations where the Paladin would have to compromise his/her morals and go about their day without falling into disgrace. I can understand relaxing the requirement that a Paladin only join parties comprised of 'good' characters. Dropping the stat requirements makes sense in a  contemporary world of 'point buy' but dropping the alignment restriction is the final nail in the coffin. Now they're just 'Divine Smite' boss killers with a more appealing name. When 'anything' is a Paladin then 'nothing' is.
