This makes A3 unusable for live work. For the simple reason that nobody expects
such a thing to happen, not any more than e.g. using a PFL should cause clicks.
I will refrain from mentioning the not-so-kind adjectives that would be used
to describe a HW mixer doing such a thing.

Fons - could you outline a few of the needs to relocate such taps during a live performance?

I don't have much knowledge either way but you always have context behind your remarks and

that might help to put the issue into perspective.

Having those taps are useful for reviewing signals levels, looking for sources of noise/hum, but

I would probably prefer to select those taps during soundcheck rather then when actually live, by

that time it might already be too late, but hey - you have a _lot_ more experience here.
