I agree. Unfortunately it's not the only quirk in the Code Sportif,
which has accumulated rules over rules for 50 years at least without
wiping out *all* quirks that may have resulted from these changes
(despite the good job that has be conducted by the SC3 specialist).

It might be a good idea for the IGC bureau to launch a review of the
Code Sportif as a whole, as they had for loggers (Bob, if you read me
.... ;-) )
