I understand your comments about gliders and controlled airspace - in fact, I'm not suggesting that gliders should fly in it, but as uncontrolled airspace is eroded, I can see the pressure for gliders to carry x-ponders or strobes building etc.
It's a shame, but like the pistol shooters who basically lost their sport a few years ago, sometimes these things are imposed on communities for the 'public good.'
