Indeed; we should not forget that the ultimate motivation here is *very 
much* political. (Note: as I stated elsewhere, that may not be the OP's 
motivation, but that of the forces manipulating the OP.)

OTOH, there is unfortunately a political aspect to *not* making the 
change... because the group that wants a change can't tolerate the 
status quo.
