Wouldn't a requirement for IMC operation for a Private certificate
make it impossible for a CFI to recommend a student for examination?
If such a requirement were in effect, a CFII could be necessary.

I don't think you have to be a CIF to instruct a student in IMC. And in any
case, if the FAA were to change the rags to create a PP IMC requirement,
they could just make any necessary change to the CFI rules too.
