Aside from agreeing at the pilots meeting that it would bring in unnecesary complication when the workload is already high, the general consensus was that working sheer wave was a skill like all other skills that are tested during competition. From memory the idea of restricting start heights was knocked on the head very quickly during the meeting, so it is surprising that despite that consensus it is apparently not only being discussed again but is already written into the rules. The solution of having the first leg into wind is a far more elegant solution to the issue of an 'unfair advantage' at the start - simple and safe.
