He took the mystery away. So what? That didn't hinder my enjoyment of the story at all. MW's way of doing things really isn't THAT much worse than Puzo/Coppola's way. There are times when the plot is just TOO damned confusing to follow WITHOUT having it just spelled out and having more time with the plotters. Lord knows I would have had less of a hard time with Godfather III if the whole Joey Zasa/Osvaldo Altobello/Licio Luchesse/P2 plot was explained a lot better. If there had been more time spent with any of those characters, the whole thing would probably have made a little more sense. No, strike that... a LOT more sense.
