Caphans tend to live in the now.

So Kiivan and Ohanna seek a generational change by making it possible for slaves to rise to be owners, and eventually get everyone to be owners. It's controversial but something has to be done.
> I see it causing a lot of legal problems, maybe even violence, as one person who claims to own a woman tries to place a claim against her and the people she owns as well. Especially if it's a "traditionalist" who hates the idea in the first place. It also may destabilize the government as people who don't like the changes threaten it.

There will certainly be some resistance to the new regime. Later in the story we'll be hearing some views from the Priesthood of Raathi, for example.
