Anyone feel that the 90 day restriction on new characters / incoming characters on preferred worlds should have been lessened for the upcoming free transfer weeks?

I've been seeing a lot of comments in discords about how "x friend(s) who recently started will not be able to transfer to my world because of the restriction" and of the sort. It occurred to me that it's a bit annoying they wouldn't at least lessen the restrictions during the two weeks of free transfers.

This world visit was announced a while back (though no new information about the interactions of preferred world restrictions and the free transfers), and so I created a character to transfer to another DC along with my raid group. However, when new information was released saying that the 90 day restriction still applied, I was upset because 90 days on that character elapses the day right after the free transfers close.

What's your opinions on this? and are you in the same boat where friends are not able to transfer?
