Bob,
If you "reclassify" the low voltage conductors to Class 1, then don't the reclassified low voltage conductors have to be installed per Class 1 wiring methods?
In that case, you would not be permitted to run class 2 thermostat cable, but have to use NM, MC, AC, EMT, etc. Correct?
It seems to me that in most cases, reclassifying won't save any time or money, but might actually add labor and cost.
