It was generally agreed when they became available to leave them untouched
by contesting.
Part of this was a desire to provide a sanctuary for those who are
displaced when a major contest hits the other bands. There was also
relief by many that adding capacity for three more bands was not
required in order to stay competitive.
I was initially surprised that anyone would ask about this - just because
I think most everyone is very comfortable with the arrangement.
