MR should just make it an achievable status level, which would remove a lot of the pressure, or be very generous at allowing requests from people who are the margins to be included.

That's my exact situation. 850+ nights in SPG, 14yrs elite with 9 of those plat (as of this year). Not going to be happy if all I'll ever be able to achieve is LTP versus LTPP.
