Seems to me that telling people what is probably the case (that the bearings all look A+ after 100K miles) would only encourage people to treat a serviceable-bearing as the final bearing. A better question might be is it cost effective to have the retrofit bearings "core-exchanged" with fresh internals come at least clutch replacement time. This might encourage people be good boys and girls and maintain what is probably a spotless record on engine failures providing that they service the IMSB on a regular interval. A practice which might have prevented this from becoming an issue in the first order since the root cause seems to be oil starvation leading to degradation and contamination. The LNE bearings seems to raise the bar of how much punishment the part can sustain but the need for servicing doesn't go away.
