I would as well.

I think we tried to talk the IGC into using the LS-4 as the single
glider for the World Class. You can see how well that worked out;
there are nearly as many PW-5's around as LS-4's, Not! Logic is not
something that happens at IGC meetings, the herd mentality somehow
takes over and we now have seven classes. Next month I am sure they
will want to add 14M and 17M classes for those that have been left out
of the 13.5M and 20M classes. Yes, the LS-4 could have been the World
Class and there would have been no need for the Club class.
