?? I suppose you picked that from my wording, that I have no experience
running HW. Spesifics of the rules, parhaps, but what about spesifics of
Glorantha?
My campaign has been running for over a decade, so I'm not going to
change the workings of the world unless there is good cause. I
understand that HW simplifies things, and in many cases this is good.
I also know there are many people like me, who have ongoing campaigns,
and who have to work over the gaps between RQ and HW. My toughts and
observations are meant to be constructive, not destructive of Hero Wars.
I have bought all that has come out so far, and will continue to do so.

Yes, that is quite a nice way of handling it. There are good Gloranthan reasons for keeping the "antimagic" iron at least on some level. I'd hate to lose the wonderfully strange Iron Forts of the Kralorelan border, for instance.
I'm sorry if have ruffled some feathers, but I love the detail on Glorantha.
