But do you think my proposal will work? We have a number of years of
operation under such a system, and I have not heard of any problems with
the database administration of the orphan licensees.

It's not *just* the database administration. Another aspect of the problem
is that the *rules* have to be maintained for those orphaned classes. How
do you deal with the sub-band by class privs without consolidation.

By consolidating into just three classes (including the new beginner class
with meaningful HF privs), the rules can be simplified greatly. That will
ease the administrative burden on the FCC (and the VECs) in ways that go
beyond just the database issue.
