Rumor: Are the Ruling Bodies considering a change in hazard marking?

[David in FL]

Just figure how often we see questions on this forum asking how to drop from this or that water hazard.  It would be so much more sensible to just be able to give one stock answer that covers it all.  This is a situation that players face every day, every round, and still they get confused about red or yellow, and what's the difference between lateral and regular, and where can I drop if it's one or the other.  This would eliminate half of the problem because there would be one set of procedures that covers it all, and it would only rarely make any actual difference in how a player proceeded in any given situation.  The way I see it, any minor differences would be more than balanced by the added simplicity of a single process for all water hazards.

True.
