Thanks for the (mostly) helpful comments.
My views on the IMCr are irrelevant really but sufficed to say, I have my own opinions which some won't agree with. What will be, will be and I'll decide what to do if and when changes are made. There is little that I can do to change FCL008's views or opinions and they will make whatever decision they think appropriate, even if I disagree.
When I fly, i am extremely cautious and careful and I never take any chances. Contrary to (some) IR holder's opinions, I am not some half-wit, who ventures out into IMC at the drop of a hat, thinking that i am invincible - and I never intend to.
thanks.
