Can you tell me that this development is not a good thing?
Yes I can.
It's not a good thing.
It's a bad thing made a little less bad.
Think about how much time and money CASA wasted to create the situation to which the exemption was the solution.
Think about how much time and money CASA will waste in developing exemptions to deal with problems CASA has created during the regulatory reform program.
Think about how much time and money CASA could waste in regulatory reform projects to deal with situations that CASA created during the regulatory reform program.
If you call making a bleedingly obvious decision to put a tiny bandaid over a pustulant running sore a 'good thing', you're only encouraging more of the same.
A 'good thing' would be an announcement that the whole program has been shut down and the product will be put through the shredder.
