Extended hypercolor theories have been plagued with inherent flavor-changing effects occurring above experimental levels. The problem may be alleviated in a scenario in which hypercolor interactions are not asymptotically free. Then the scale of broken gauged family symmetry may be higher than before. The masses of the pseudo-Goldstone bosons of hypercolor may also be increased.
