No, the DCAs will simply require coordinates, like everywhere else. The proof condition is dropped. The NWA 9000s will be skipped.

Believe it or not, nobody has submitted a request to reclassify Al Hag 001 or its siblings. Has there been a paper published on it? All I'm finding are abstracts.

Why start the DCAs at "NWA 10,000..." when in short time the 'non-proof' mets will reach the tried and true 'NWA' naming system and surpass 10,000? Why not simply add the 'sub group' "DCA" after "NWA"... example... NWA-DCA 0001, NWA-DCA OOO2... and so on....

NWA 2828 was rewritten in Abstract that the original 'Aubrite' designation was made with original type sample, but after subsequent material was cut chondrules were discovered and the correct science was selflessly announced...
