it's a no brainer:
A system that has suddenly more restrictions (i.e. max 7 day off rule), that makes a swap more difficult, is definitely not what we expected.
It has been installed to restrict us more and to make CC work less.
Now we not only face a bidding system that has been degenerated by some silly managers to the extent of failure, but our only refuge, swaps, have been sent degenerating down the same drain.
No matter how you dress it up, it's a step backwards.
