Well, this is a zero sum game...



My feeling is that none of the events should be "targeted." That is the unpleasant tactic that I feel should be avoided.



Agreed. It is a zero sum game if we just add classes (one in = one out).

We can see it as a non-zero sum game if the goal is "the best choice for sailing as an Olympic sport".

Since having a multihull there definitely adds to the visibility, support, TV potential and other goals shared by all sailors, it is safer and easier to go this way.

It is definitely better to propose this type of "cooperative" solution. Especially when parts of it can be seen as a zero sum game.
