I agree Liriel and I share your point of view but for what ever reason people have privacy issues which I feel should be respected also.
Sadly I have read the complete thread and the emotions clearly showed people fear for this to be activated for various reasons in which case I think this might not be a good idea after all.
I had hoped it would give us convenience in the sense we would be able to browse through pedigrees without a problem and see who a breeder of a favorite cat is so we can visit their shop etc. etc.
Sell parents and grandparents etc. without losing the rights to browse their pedigree and what not.
I really felt it was a great addition to the pedigree.
Today I spoke with someone who showed me her side of this and this was basically KC activated this without up front notice and she was really upset about this.
I can understand this as well as people might like to prepare themselves better if this becomes at all active concerning alts and such.
Therefore I feel better safe than sorry and maybe KC should time this better and with up front notice effective from a certain date for the new borns after this date if they are to do this at all.
I had no idea this tumult would happen otherwise I would just think: Ohw wow cool a new tool!
But it seems a big issue for some.
And eventhough most people who have voted for this like for this to become effective there is still about 27% (at the time of writing) who don't like this idea at all taking the "no name tags at all" voters and the "name tag" voters together.
Maybe this is a too big of a change to follow through if it backfires that much emotions.
