...and reorganization of the peerage was not a new idea then either.  

About 28 years ago there was a plan to make all peers knights (IIRC the idea was 

to have "Knights of the Pelican", etc.) so discontent with the system goes back 
that far.  There may have been an intermediate polling, too -- they seem to come 

and go with no effect, since this discontent, while recurring, has not enjoyed 
the support of the Society as a whole.

IIRC, It was earlier this year that the society hosted a poll inviting
members to give their opinions on a wide number of topics including patent
level recognition of the newer (yes, it is important to remember that they
are relatively new to the game) marshal activities mentioning specifically
rapier, archery, thrown weapons, and equestrian.

Give it time.
