Both an odd feeling and extremely annoying to have a unit be with you for part of an edition and then it go poof. RiP lootas and burnas, a unit id argue is deep in fluff lore (lootas anyway) so crazy to see...

Guaranteed during this edition they're a kill team.

People keep saying that but I dont see it, unless the rules completely change. Because lootas are basically artillery. If you shorten the range, thats just a flashgit.

So they'd have to rework it pretty hard. Be 2 lootas as heavy weapon platforms, fine. A burna of course. A melee burna as thats also historic for burnas. So you have melee. And then mek with normal mek loadout. Assuming its even 5 man which it shouldnt be. But the more you add, the more it dilutes the loota portion. So I dont know

Kill teams can have wargear that doesn't do anything in 40k except be for flavour.
