Yeah
it'll be damaging to estate rentals because everyone will be able to
buy them direct and "cut out the middle man". It's so obvious that
direct sales of OS sims (at the right price, of course!) is just plain
better for the grid and 90% of the population. A few percent of people
- those flipping estate land will suffer, but seriously, they're making
money from an arbitrary and pointless rule that was obviosly going to
be removed at some point.

I can't say I *hope* it will be changed because of course it will cost me some of my income but it's obvious that it will and so I've always had a strategy in place that can cope with that kind of change without having to threaten lawyers. If any estate owner out there has no plan except whining to cope with the next tramuatic change then I really despair because it seems like land flippers just never learn.

I believe that Linden Lab won't pay much attention to the thoughts of estate and mainland landlords because they represent a tiny proportion of the population and don't bring anything to the world that Linden Lab couldn't (or shouldn't) do themselves.
