And there's scuttlebutt that the LSA rules might be revised to be based off a load factor formula rather than a fixed upper gross weight limit, as well as the creation of PSAs (larger aircraft certified via ASTM standards rather than FAA part 31(? I can't remember the CFR part right now), which would allow for much faster and easier certification of PSAs (as opposed to standard category aircraft).

Here's hoping for a full revision to the LSA rules that allows 152/72/82 and Piper Cherokees into the category; that would open up Sport pilots to thousands of new aircraft they were unable to fly for essentially no reason. It's painfully obvious that the FAA's artificial limitation of 1320 lbs was completely arbitrary and is overall a detriment to the safety of pilots operating under the sport rules. Frankly, I think/hope that recertifying the majority of standard category aircraft as PSAs will help drive down costs and spur some new innovation in GA.
