After reading around the subject, I can totally see why people are leaving. It's about the potential to have an investigation opened for the previous 7 years, rather than the future earnings. Once HMRC said they would not rule that out, it was almost guaranteed.
6 months time, others will be back in as contractors, inside IR35, but with a firewall between pre and post April 5th 2017 earnings.
