Were it up to me the FCC would get out of the business of regulation-

with each other."

That's "Regulation-By-Abstention", Hans, which is no regulation at all
and is extremely poor policy. The FCC has done far too much of that
in the last 20 years, which pains me no end, and not only in the
Amateur Radio Service. It's the FCC's -JOB - to find out "what the
market wants" and to react to that as regulatory professionals, not to
hide behind the curtain or under the rug.

Time for me to cool down
