People complain about needing a diamond pick to mine obsidian. The solution? A water bucket ( ) and a lava bucket ( ) on a crafting table make obsidian and give you back two empty buckets.

Thoughts?
EDIT: So we're all clear, this would just be a way to get Obsidian in the inventory quicker. Mixing a lava source with water and "molding" them would still work just as it does now.
People can whine about progression all they want. They'll either deal with it or stop playing.
How about I start complaining about needing redstone to make circuitry? Should Notch just turn the player into a magical electricity wizard because of some nobodies that can't accept the gameplay?
What he's saying is that you exchange the time and effort of acquiring diamonds and mining each block of obsidian for being able to simply scoop up some water and some lava with buckets and craft them together (hell that takes up 2 slots, you wouldn't even need a crafting table.)
A part of me is tempted. The lazy part. Don't listen to the lazy part, this is a bad idea and would make obsidian less cool.
I personally just hate how bloody long it takes to mine obsidian. I'd be alright with need to craft a bucket of water with a bucket of lava and a diamond pick (keep the pick and buckets) for 1 block of obsidian.
That way progression is fine, and all you'd need to do is find a pool of lava and make a bench nearby to start getting obsidian.
It would be no different than now, it just wouldn't take a freaking minute to get a few blocks.

This is only efficient if you have many filled buckets.
