There's something to be said for being able to add any new perks to already-existing characters, however I would have to say 'no' to such a feature as it destroys the concept of 'character development'.
A very important part of one's choices in setting up any given character is that you have to live with your decisions as they make the character what he or she is. The ability to change that if you decide you do not like the concept you've been working on means that characters no longer have any 'personality', and are just containers to be emptied and filled as one sees fit.
It also results in said development process degenerating into 'okay, I'll take what works best in the early levels and then swap out in the 20s when it starts lagging' and that very rapidly leads to stagnation. It's already getting close to that with the L35 cap IMO, and I don't really want to see it go the rest of the way.
