I think the FAA intends to enforce the rule as saying that if you would

qualify for a 3rd class medical then you are unfit to fly anyway.

This is absolutely NOT true. The FAA has made it very clear
that being able to qualify for a 3rd class medical for your
2 year period and being safe to fly on a specific flight as
a Sport Pilot/glider pilot/balloon pilot are NOT the same
thing. This position is long standing and unchanged. It
appears in FAQ's, regulatory preambles, NPRM's,
administrative decisions and Chief Counsel interpretations.

Yeah, I know it has. It just seems to me that someone in the FAA is trying
to reverse all that.
