I think FCC could indeed legally implement Hans' one-shot learner license
with
its upgrade-or-out provision. Their argument would be that someone who was
a
ham for 10 years and yet c/wouldn't pass the full-privs test simply didn't
have
the required "character" or "discipline" to stay in the ARS.


Nice try, Jim, but that wouldn't be their argument at all.

Their argument would be that the individual had not yet demonstrated
knowledge of the technical qualifications for a standard license by passing
the required written examination, and their learners permit had expired. It
has nothing to do with "character" or "discipline".
