Yes, I would expect (and G hopes) that one positive knock-on effect will be the average age of combat witches trending upward, at which point the Allies may be able to, you know... stop conscripting children. As noted in this piece, he has largely accustomed himself to the youth of the combatants in this society, but there are still times when he questions the righteousness of involving the really, really young ones.
