Haven't we got a big enough mess with too many FAI classes ?
All with little performance difference (other than the failed world-
class experiment).
Tooling and engineering for a new glider costs millions.
This must be paid for, by us, over a small production run for each
glider.
More classes = even more fragmentation = smaller production runs =
higher costs.

Aaaarrrgggg....
