 Dear all, 
I think Dr Gopal makes an excellent point.  Whatever the original reasons for introducing the lock, if someone now wants to change the length the burden should be on them to show significant benefits from doing so. 
In other words, "If it ain't** broke, don't fi it."

 Dear All,

In my humble opinion, a simple way to rationalize:

The 60-days lock was introduced in 1998/1999 and it withstood the
test of time in a domain that was seldom assured of "Crystal Ball
Gazing" even one year ahead.

Why think of changing without any very major significant gains ?

Your call please.

Sincerely,




Gopal T V
