Wil and Gavin can also weigh in on the intent.  The intent was for the launch phases to be associated with the TLD (or zone), where there may be a policy for launch phases that differentiates the availability of domain names.  It was never intended or foreseen that a launch phase would be used to group a set of domain names as a form of fee classification.  We can agree to disagree on this topic. 

I agree with Jim. The Launch Phase was not designed to deal with premium
names: I would not have created the fee extension if it were.
