Two points (both of which you made but I will emphasize]
1) You say you are not advocating that the P&M's have some consolidation?
Why not at least consider it? That's what the data says we should do.
2) These are existing classes that at one time were well-subscribed relative
to the rest of the classes in the sport. The current supplemental classes
have (arguably) not yet shown that level of subscription for a significant
length of time. As for P&M's, there are well-defined rules that spell out
how undersubscribed existing classes eventually go away.

'why not'" :-)
