I still like to note that while ICAO has a single table with values all the way down to 75 m, the ECAC/JAA people chose to split it and define the (overlapping) notes more precisely, when publishing the EU regulation.
Find 3: I couldn't find the FAA version of this.
Find 4: The Australian CAAP LVO-1 https://www.casa.gov.au/sites/g/file.../ops/lvo-1.pdf clearly prohibits the self-replacement of RVR below 350 metres.

Since there WAS a re-design of the relevant paragraph, the key question is: did EASA have a change of heart? Was there a NPA process to allow 75/125/125 departures based on "seeing lights"...?
Ahh, Aussie rules flying! Love it! Whats next? We all have to fly three legs in the pattern when we fly visual approaches?
But EU Ops rules are clear. As pointed out several times in this discussion.
6 lights and off I go.
