I thought this was just a wouldn't-it-be-cool-if type thing. I had no idea someone was actually taking it serious let alone considering it. This would be pretty cool.
At first I thought the same way but I have seen a video were Paul Elio mentions it and have heard it mentioned a time or two over the year including this weekend so it does appear to be something they are looking into doing if possible.
They still have some time to make up their minds on this so anything could happen and this very well could end up being a consolation gift if they decide to charge everyone the destination fee. We will just have to wait and see what shakes out.
