Is it possible for the Light Sport category to revive that old slogan

pilots?

Interesting twice in Sport Pilot category: it becomes impossible to
know whether a pilot is active.

In the case of George Bush or Dudley Henriques, we know from the "no
current medical" that the pilot (probably) no longer flies.

So for all practical purposes, the number of pilot certificates
granted now becomes the number of pilots there are. Does the FAA even
purge its files when the pilot dies?
