I think clear notice should be given in the AIS Bulletin, then the Registrar 
should be instructed not to perform this courtesy. And then the rules about 
unintroduced irises not being eligible for awards should be enforced. People 
who buy such things and try to show them as other than seedlings will be 
disappointed and perhaps confused, but these effects must be attributed to 
the hybridizer not following through. A hybridizer desirous of his/her irises 
receiving all appropriate attention must act in accord with his/her 
interests. It might be useful for AIS purposes for the Register to maintain 
an informal record of non-introduced irises in commerce that he/she has come 
across in the natural course of things. 

I've never found common sense to be all it is cracked up to be and I don't 
think the system needs additional looseness on this point, at least for 
recent irises. There might have to be an amnesty for things before 2000 or 
things from dead hybridizers since the beast may already be out of the 
paddock and since there apparently has been an informal understanding on this 
point, but thereafter applying the rules as written would appear to be one 
viable solution.
