** Or alternatively, flightless and flight-development-delayed foals will be automatically declared "wards of the crown" and relocated to safe locations. If their parents are willing to come along, fine; if they refuse, tough cookies; they'll have to negotiate for visitation rights which, depending on the child, might be denied. This system could possibly be used as a threat to scare Pegasi politicians into accepting the above since this system would cause their populations to ''[[IncrediblyLamePun plummet]]''.

Some readers have pointed out some flaws in Celestia's plan, which include but are not limited to "what happens when the land-space runs out?" and ''"isn't it selfish just to give immortality to ponies?"'' Naturally, it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility for a member of a non-pony race to either [[WellIntentionedExtremist legitimately believe ponies are selfishly trying to rule the world and try to stop them]] or just use the reason as a convenient way to make [[VillainWithGoodPublicity them look noble for attacking]] [[HeroWithBadPublicity the "evil" ponies who want to hoard the secret of immortality for themselves and enslave the rest of the world]]. Possible candidates include Garble and his crew (especially after RC's excellent use of them in [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/FanFic/RealityChecksNyxverse the Nyxverse]]) or a griffin noble (to serve as a {{Foil}} to Prince Ajax). While this plot would ultimately fail, it might force Celestia to reveal more specifics of the ascension plan to the world at large, with the most necessary one being that the ponies are focusing on their own race first to make sure that they know the process inside and out so that it's safe to start trials with other races.

Just like how Neigh Orleans got two arcs (one to introduce the hinkypunks, kappas, and Cotton Mouth, and a second to reveal the source of the former two and bring closure to the latter), Windy City will get a second arc that will reveal [[TheManBehindTheMan The Man Behind the Crownbreakers]].

Since three of the new royals (Fluttershy, Scootaloo and Mach) either had their lives directly threatened by Pegasi negligence or would have been had they lived in a cloud city and Celestia has [[BerserkButton a deep hatred for ponies who randomly decide "X-group is inferior because [insert asinine reason]"]], it's entirely possible that cloud cities will be forced to implement safety measures or face consequences (with massive fines that could potentially bankrupt the city/cities in question being the likely minimum and quite possibly having the entire city charged with treason to the crown and having its political chain of command completely dismantled like [[LaserGuidedKarma what happened at Promise]]).
