Another point that isn't being considered is that making more airspace controlled increases the traffic density in the remaining uncontrolled airspace. Adding additional Class-D or TMZ's will work like a funnel effect - GA will be operating in ever narrower corridors. Just hope that a proper risk evaluation of this aspect is being carried out as part of the CAA's Mode-S proposal.
