WWW - Yes really. The last time, as I recall, was after a fatal accident at or near Booker some years ago. I can't remember the exact date and so cannot quote details. However, one recommendation was that the IMC rating either be withdrawn or subject to a significant increase in training and testing. The SACPL considered it at the time and went some way towards making the requirements for the IMC rating more stringent. However, in the end, AOPA managed to strangle the whole thing - as usual, cheap flying was seen as more important than flight safety.
