I suspect that when the FCC eliminates "Element 1" they will (editorially)
renumber the elements.

Not really!

Back before restructuring, we had the following elements (IIRC):

1A - 5 wpm code
1B - 13 wpm code
1C - 20 wpm code
2 - Novice written
3A - Tech written
3B - General written
4A - Advanced written
4B - Extra written

hmmmm, I don't know about you, but I really like to have the numbers
line up.

Before March 21, 1987, the Tech and General used the same written,
called
Element 3. When they split that into two separate tests, the names were
changed
to 3A and 3B. A similar split took place back in 1967 when the Extra
written
(Element 4) was split into Advanced and Extra.

Etc.
