Why the blatant discrimination ? I wouldn't mind it if it were admitted and yet no one would submit an entry coded in its language, but the mere fact that it's not even considered admissible seems to reek of arbitrary, unfair discrimination or worse, sheer contempt.

I don’t know the exact production numbers in relation to the others, and it’s just my observation:but maybe it is because there weren’t many of them made ?

I wish I had a 71B
