That would eliminate 90% of small alarm installers who can't read
blueprints, let alone create their own.  Furthermore, the vast majority of
retrofit jobs don't have prints available at all.  Most fire alarm permit
applications do not require blueprints.

The vast majority of companies doing retrofit alarm jobs never pull a
permit.  They won't start complying with a new, stricter code if they
already ignore an easy to follow one.
