Please stop now, its fundamental they remain arc bound as in MT, I can
*just* accept a class 1 having 2 arcs but not a class 2.

Yes thats how it should work, as in the machine gun analogy.

That was one of the minus points of the dRG. It seems there
is no way out at the moment the alternatives seem to be just as
full of holes. Are we looking for a new PSB or a new RG fix?

Are there any alternative limiting factors.
