Michael here's the point.
Do we have a problem with the *current* BLP process? That's the question on the table.
Some people are in a reactionary mode, regarding a *few* issues, and wanting to change major systems, based on a few issues. That is not a productive stance.
A more productive stance would be to present , realistically, the problem as a *major* issue. Not the issue of a few exceptions.
You should never code *for* the exceptions, only the mode. Otherwise your problem-solving never ends. So far I've seen and heard nothing, that would make me think that the issue on the table, is anything more than a few exceptions. Which should be dealt with as exceptions, and not be made the cause for upheavel.

Here's the point: these cases are not *few*, they're *common*; and they're not jokes, they're serious.
