There was nothing wrong with the previous system. I don't see a safety case for the change. I do my FI and CRI at the same time so its a moot point for me but I don't see why there was a need to change the way it was done.
Whatever Ghengis may think, the CRI is not the same as an FI and aligning the requirements to revalidate will not make you an FI and therefore remove the stigma you perceive. The only way to do that is become a full FI.....
