Everyone with an interest in this needs to vote on the Auster forum and send their thoughts to the CAA:

Remaining on C of A is not a done deal. The CAA have put it on hold while they canvas more opinion. It is clear the vast majority of Auster owners wish to go to permit and only a tiny vocal minority who wish to fly IMC and night (how much of this do they really do anyway?) are screwing it up for the vast majority.
So get on there and vote and make your feelings known.
