It's an unnecessary complexity for a lot of organizations. Consumers don't necessarily understand the “implied” relationship, and it's difficult for organizations to manage. It's unclear for a lot of companies what defines six months versus two years, so the impact is that some organizations don't rely on implied consent at all, which loses them opportunities. I think it simplifies it to get rid of the six-month and two-year requirement.
