Based on everything that I have read, the object of having a series of
license classes was so that people could take the journey in smaller,
more manageable steps.

That's all well and good --- and if each "manageable step" has a
corresponding increase in privilege, we could call that "Incentive
Licensing".

But what we have here (and had in the 1960's) is "Dis-incentive
Licensing" --- that's when you climb to a certain step (let's say
"General") to enjoy a level of privs. Then along comes an FCC R&O which
knocks away some of those privs and requires you to take another test in
order to regain what you lost.

As I remarked to N2EY, let's hope that was a mistake and that they fix it.
I agree they shouldn't lose privileges.
