I can't comment on this in an official sense, only the new governing council can.

I can state however that the current grandfather classification was given on the specs as they were in jan 2002. The underlying line of thinking was that any change from those specs will require an new grandfather decision unless the changes themselfs are F16 compliant.

But the GC will have to reply to this officially. I don't expect any reply however before the Taipan class has officially approved these changes.
