I just believe we should keep the trades separate as they have been, we each know our trade well and it has been proven time and time again.
Obviously no one is going to give up their B2 licence to become a B1 but you may see them offered B1 type training in lieu of B2 on new types.
As for refusing to sign people's books. I call BS on that one. If someone has carried out a task from their OJT book and signed as the AME in the log or in Mx you are a very game man if you refuse to sign their OJT book.
You can "believe" the trades should be separate all you like. Fact is it's B1 and B2 nowa days grandpa. Has been for quite some time. Ever heard of the A380?
