I'm branching this off from another thread as the speculation raised there was too interesting to get buried:
Tazren Gaidin raised the excellent point that traditionalists among the Aes Sedai would have to confront the fact that the AoL AS did not take the Three Oaths except as a punishment. Egwene and her successor Cadsuane seem to be firm on the Oaths being key to being Aes Sedai, but eventually the White Tower will need to adjust to all of the other channellers wandering around Oathless, including the Asha'man. Given the number of Oathed AS bonded to Oathless Asha'man and vice versa, that would seem to be the biggest argument for changing the rules.
