The reason the humpty was dropped in the 2003 Sportsman known is that people complained of "bracket creep", and that the sequence wasn't flyable in lower-powered aircraft, which were going to be forced back to Basic/Primary/whatever-they're-calling-it-this-week.

Bracket creep is present in all categories ... for years, people have been saying that a Pitts is no longer competitive in Unlimited - look at the contest results -and this year, I even heard from a big-engine Pitts driver that the proposed Advanced was too much for him.
