class E isn't really controlled airspace
I know you really want that to be the case airwave but unfortunately it IS really controlled airspace, with all IFR traffic on a radar control service. There's no option for IFR traffic to be getting anything other than an RCS.
So, when was the last time you heard of a glider flying IFR?
And how does this "Control" affect squawking VFR traffic ?
