In 2009 FAA concluded a Small Airplane Certification Process Study that considered General Aviation for the next 20-years. One of the major recommendations from that study was to restructure Part 23 into performance and complexity based divisions instead of weight and propulsion based divisions. I don’t know if that recommendation generated any action, but it sounds similar to the current interest in restructuring the Rotorcraft Airworthiness Standards.
