Simon:
I think some here don't like the way PADI does it now, and use the forum as a 'town hall' to discourage potential applicants from getting it, and raise public ill will against it hoping it will somehow change, and either be renamed (not going to happen I'm thinking, for marketing reasons) or made into a course of its own (like NAUI's).
Which would be a step back from PADI's very modular approach and I think is also not going to happen.

P.S.: I'd get it if I met all the qualifications.
