Well if the luddite does not like it then we will never advance.

I'm not sure that a decrease in safety, even if only very small, necessarily qualifies as 'an advance', does it?

Having a covered CPC simply means that you no longer need to oversleeve the CPC, all other use of it is the same, strip the end just as you would the other cores.

It doesn't "simply mean" only that. It also means that,in some (rare) circumstances, deterioration or penetration of a cable might be less likely to cause a protective device to operate - at all or as soon/quickly.

As I've said,I'm personally not convinced that a slight increase in 'convenience' (which you describe as 'an advance') should b allowed to overcome that (slight) decrease in safety, should it?
