Poorly done

Our authorities have tried for decades to pretend that VFR aircraft do not exist. IFR reporting points are often not shown on any maps that a vfr pilot would have. They seem to be secrets unless you are ifr rated and have the ifr charts. At one time we even had vfr aircraft reporting at a location that is marked on the wac chart, and ifr aircraft reporting at a place with the same name that was about 15 miles away. Looks like there is a communication problem at ASA.
Surely it would be simple to put the ifr points on the vfr charts as well. The fictitous names in use today do not appear on ANY other charts.
Sure, you can search through publications and may find the co-ordinates of these things after much searching, but no-one does. The system does not work. And they do not seem to care.
