I can understand why the ATF would prefer that people not use trusts and corporations. From the ATF perspective, it opens the door to a lot of issues they would just as soon not have to deal with, so removing the CLEO requirement ultimately benefits them.
However, unless they also loosen up the requirements on NFA firearms so that non-prohibited adult family members can have unsupervised access, people will still continue using the trust method since that is the other big ownership problem that a trust or corporation solves.
