I'll grant you that wariness and planning for future "enhancements" is always something we should be keeping in mind. You just can't base a TA vote on what "might" happen. On the other hand we would be doing ourselves a huge disservice if we just assume nothing will ever possibly change.
I'm neutral on the whole VB/TDY thing. I'll admit that the "no ocean crossings" thing was a good feature, and that undoubtedly mgmt would love to get rid of that at some future juncture (assuming that VBs are implemented at all per the TA language).
