The thing about rules/laws, any rules/laws, is that if they are not 
working as originally intended, THEY CAN BE CHANGED.  However, what 
often happens is that a rule works well for a while, even a few decades, 
becomes "set in stone", and THEN begins to be eroded by advances in 
technology, people seeking loopholes, or whatever.  But now that it has 
become inviolate, no one wants to mess with it.

If we keep firmly in front of us the rationale for each rule, we can 
modify it, as time passes, to preserve its original intent, and avoid 
changes that make it do a job that was never intended.  In fact, we can 
even eliminate it... like that stupid Texas law about females riding 
astride... if the reason itself, for the rule/law, becomes obsolete or 
proven fallacious.

AERC Rule 6k is currently not a problem.  If it were to be abused a la 
FEI, we could modify it to allow crew vehicles a) only under exigent 
circumstances and b) only with Ride Management permission.
