To be honest I was more worried about the pushing of CADW out of government control.
Personally I think English Heritage (who already went this way in England) are even now 100% commercially-minded, while Historic England (the governance bit of EH that has been left in government) is ever more toothless. Of course they get very little funding, while EH will spend its money on the cash-cow sites rather than on preservation and prevention.
I hope the Welsh government doesn't follow the English lead here, but the involvement of Simon Thurley to head up the considerations suggests that they probably will.
