Perhaps, the RF should just roll into the ICAO and use WGS-84, there is no advantage to holding onto a datum that is just a duplicate of it.
Like temperature in degs C and F, or pressure in mbs and inches of Hg, or mass in Kgs and Lbs.

I'm really looking forward to the day when there is just one agreed datum - but I won't be holding my breath.
