LSA weight limit increase, good for gliding?

The bigger point I was trying to make was that the sport pilot rules are being reevaluated next year and there may be some opportunity to adjust rules including the 10,000 foot rule.
I've just been surprised that nobody has shown any interest in making adjustments to the LSA rules to fit soaring better.

Can you point me to this agenda?

There is no reason to bother. If they did away with the no medical denial, altitude restriction, and VNE restriction the only thing we would gain is transition pilots could get a rating from a second CFI instead of a DPE. Soaring has a pretty sweet spot hiding out from all sorts of rules. No reason to go stick your head up where it can get shot off.
