Too many transponders in too small a spot is too much for ATC software

they're now obliged to turn the equipment off as it's apparently causing problems with Schiphol's Radar when they're flying below CAS
Our glider club in Canada has ongoing airspace discussions with the authorities. They do not want a dozen plus transponder returns from our local gliding area as it will overload their software. Possibly the conflict alert system starts making loud noises.
