calpin- I think the real crux of the question (and here's the real troll) is
how
many merges will we really see in the future? The old "end of
dogfighting?" issue, revisited yet again. BRBR

In the fog of war, with lots of jets around and suspect ID of which is which, a
VID will become more common, not less and there will be merges, like it or
don't.
