Default mounted van hirdman for MA?

Now that the sacreds got fixed, wouldnt it be due to give vanheim a nonsacred van unit, like a mounted van hirdman from EA for example?
As I understand, vans are now capitol-only due to balance issues, but thematically, they are still far from extinct, arent they? So why not allow recruitment of van units worldwide, as it was before the 3.10 - just not sacred van units. Makes sense to me.

Maybe a heavy mounted hirdman? After all, its middle age with its more advanced cavalry - lances, broadswords etc. As for an oldschool Van, they may be sacred because they still worship the Aesir and fight like they fathers and grandfathers did, clad in light armor, with a shield and spear.
That might buff a non-bless vanheim, which he (imho) doesnt need with already the best infantry of the age, but it might be quite thematical in my opinion.
