Certainly worth looking at the cost/benefits of ditching the association status. There are other reasons for the association vehicle of course but it might be worth doing a review.
A review would bring better foundations for discussions. It may also help push the current association model farther by illuminating on what is being missed, but comparing with other ways of doing things. I just don't like the sort of Jedi-like hand wave you seemed to be using here.
