And it is not the perogative of ATC to cancel IFR on an airplane that

Correct, but if you cannot accept any revised clearance your only
alternative is to cancel IFR.

While in the clouds?


The alternative to accepting the new clearance is flying the old
clearance, and ATC puts up with the consequences (which may mean that
another aircraft has a delay or a reroute). IFR is a joint endeavor, not
an ATC "take it or leave it" thing. However, if there is one who has the
"take it or leave it" perogative, it is the pilot whose ass is in the
system and already has a clearance.


Nope. If the original clearance was an option there never would have been a
reroute.

Or is it convienece?
