It's not about getting our knickers in a twist, it's about making sure that in this day and age we don't get our asses in a sling.
I do not see any need for solo training when doing training to renew a rating. Clearly neither do the authority.
I actually have a syllabus for an SEP class rating that was produced in order to add SEP ratings to the licences of integrated students who ended up only with an MEP/IR. It is also used for adding SEP to licences that only had motor gliders and for pilots on NPPL adding the SSEA.
There is no solo in it. You are confusing the training for the issue of a licence with the training for any class rating. The SEP post licence is just a class rating.
