And remember that one of the USPs of Oyster was *not* needing to take it
out of your wallet to use

I don't but I keep mine in a plastic Oyster wallet not with my credit cards. Even without the card clash issue I wouldn't start waving my main wallet around at a station gateline or getting on a bus.

I've had a secondary wallet with all the "other" cards in for at least
as long as I've had an Oyster. But that doesn't cure the card-clash
between the "others".

For example, when I lived in Nottingham my main "other" card was a
pre-ITSO contactless bus card; but I still had an Oyster, and more
recently an ITSO card that in theory I could have loaded
Nottingham-London tickets onto (but the EMT trial had so may hiccups,
and still isn't mainstream afaict, that I never did manage to use it in
anger).
