I don't disagree that diversity is good, however the Summit was a VR channel when it initially started, then shifted to a generic comms frequency, then back to VR, then back to comms over the years.
It didn't have problems before with it.
I don't feel that the VR is either a problem, the problem, or part of the problem.
I would suggest that lack of definition is the problem. I would be willing to wager that if we polled people on the Summit; in either its VR or comm frequency forms, and what they thought it was, was for, and how it was represented, we would have a rather large variety of answers.
That, in my opinion, is the source of the problem.
Everything else is just a symptom.
