Saying that IMCR holders fall into two groups: those that really want IR, and those who want to cope with accidental IMC, simply isn't true.
You're right, FREDAcheck. There's also a group who want to exercise the privileges of an IR but are not prepared to demonstrate their competence to do so by going through a training and testing process that is proportionate to the privileges of the rating. They claim that they "don't need an IR" by striking off privileges that they mistakenly believe differentiates what they do from what instrument rated pilots do. But, probably since most of them have not held IRs, they actually expect to be allowed to perform most of the hardest flying tasks expected of an instrument rated pilot and still be exempted from the training and testing framework that will be put in place for FCL. And I fear they will be disappointed.
