When the double-move was introduced, "en passant" was introduced right along with it to maintain the very important aspect of the pawn line vs. pawn line. A "sensible" house rule might be more like the structure of the castling rules: any piece (not just other pawns) can capture the pawn "en passant" (as a nod to the idea that pawns "really" move through each square, just like the King during castling). | |

But I could be wrong and it's interesting for sure | |
