Should toons in low lvl bgs have a "boa bracket"?

Like the question asks, do you think low lvl toons with say more than 2 or 3 boa's have to be placed in their own bracket like the twinks who turn of xp? Especially the lvl 10 bracket were new accounts don't stand a chance.
I just got out of a series of bgs where it was pretty much the same group of us in full boas dominating the other side. I mean dominating it so bad that in 2 of those bgs we had to fast cap the flag because they were quitting mid fight and didn't have enough players on their team.
I actually felt bad about it as it was more like target practice than it was a fight. I couldn't imagine the frustration of a new player at lvl 10 in mostly poor gear, trying to participate in one of these.
The other fix to this would be to make better quest rewards for the starting areas so that maybe these new accounts have a fighting chance.
Thoughts on this?

In 5.2 stats will be scaled to a certain cap in low-level battlegrounds, so that BoAs will (hopefully) not unbalance battlegrounds as much as they do now.
So the problem is already being addressed.
Actually, that is fixing level difference in a bracket, not the strength of boas. Next patch will just make boas equal across the board and have hit chance not be such a big factor for the lower level players. It will still have boa players demolishing non-boa players.
I would like the idea of having a separate bracket for boa players, but there are two factors I can think of against it. One, queues would be longer for both sets of players and sometimes the queues are already up to 10 minutes. And two, friends that level together would either have to pvp in different brackets or one would have to take off the gear to pvp with their friend, which kind of defeats the purpose of having boa's in the first place.

I always found it funny that Blizz banished twinks but had no problem with heirloom gear decimating a BG balance even worse.
I get the feeling the segment of the population that whined about twinks, now relish in their new found, easily acquired power to overwhelm their less fortunate opponent, so Blizz sits on their hands.
I ponder why we need some many different sets of gear.
Additional XP buff could just be grant ala glyph, enchant, scroll..etc
Is there really a need for pvp stats gear. Just buff health pool in BG's

Stats? I remember reading about the Toon Levels Scaling. But I don't remember reading about stats.
Honestly any toon with a ?4 on there toon is going to be hard to kill. That just address one issue. Different brackets would be ok but the boa toons would have the faster ques then then others. The people that just started WoW will still lose out because there ques will be hours on end. And everytime they level they lose there que.
Honestly the Issue isn't gear sure gear helps. But a person that plays the toon well is going to do good reguardless of there gear. I have seen people is just starter/quest gear with more kills then people in full boa's.

i don't think they should. it's possible to find blue level gear that's a little close to the BOA gear in dungeons.
