Depends on what he means. If he want to end the righty up switch, lefty up switch, righty up switch in an inning by saying you can switch twice and inning or once an inning, that wouldn't be so bad. If he wants to limit how many pitchers can be used in a single game, I don't think that is all that great.

If they limit the number of changes per inning, you would also run into a situation where your reliever is getting shelled, but oops, you already used your one pitching change. All of the sudden you've got a 30+ minute half-inning on your hands.

Simple truth is more runs scored = more pitching changes = longer games. The two go hand-in-hand more often than not.
