We don't know the inside information regarding the split between FIRST and IFI. If they decided to split 6 months ago, then they seem to be on the right track at this time.

You can't blame the venues for interference problems; it just doesn't work. There are way, way too many venues to check for consistency, and when you are trying to create a fair game, you can't depend on anything (
especially the venue). This is a matter that the system needs to resolve.
