Rationalisation would eliminate the majority of such errors because for various reasons the majority of piston GA flights seem to operate below 6 in the UK. During my time providing ATSOCA it was unusual to see pistons cruising above 6 in the open FIR especially when impeded by so many CAS stubs.
An aligned half-million TA 6 and below would probably be useful to low level operators, more so than the old (mixed-up) 5 and below half million.
