NSF Proposals use this system (or at least a variant of this system): list five relevant publications and five additional publications). I’m told that applications for national academy membership do also.
Sérgio: I don’t think it does actually. To have a high h-index you need to have many average papers. Plus, the h-index still counts papers, just differently.
I say we forgo paper counting altogether. Just tell the world what your biggest accomplishments are. That is all. It helps if they were peer reviewed.

I think that “h-index” partially addresses this problem.
