Default Powerflarm's unknown effect on the first contests in US

Of course, contest organizers can always specify Stealth Mode.
However, if this results in even a slightly increased risk of
collision because of hidden information on the position of nearby
gliders, they may best be advised to leave them in normal mode. (I,
for one, will prohibit stealth mode in any event for which I am
responsible).

I think the new technology will be great - not only do we have a
fantastic anti-collision device, we now have a remote thermal
detector!


Isn't odd to worry about stealth mode when it's not mandatory to carry a
PowerFlarm, or what am I missing?
