The Riviera docs (as well as those at subsequent resorts) give DVC the ability to charge resale buyers a fee to waive the restrictions and have their deed treated as a direct purchase.I personally think they'll walk the restrictions back eventually as I'm sure it's affecting the attractiveness of purchases of Riviera as a home resort.
MVC, Vistana, and HGV all have similar programs in place that allow owners to enroll, retro, or upgrade their resale purchases by making additional purchases.
I expect that DVC will do something similar in the future.
