Powerplay bounties after unpledging

I picked up some powerplay bounties (after a bit of hazres bounty hunting in my own home system), which mean that I'm now wanted (not just hostile) in half of the systems out there. I know there are no particular consequences to this, but prefer not having a wanted status, so I've decided to just unpledge.

Unfortunately, the bounties are still there, with no means to pay them off, even though I'm no longer pledged to any power. Does anyone know what's supposed to happen with these? Can I pay them off after some cool-down period, or will they disappear at some point?

Quick update on this - Support say that this is intentional. I guess that means that powerplay bounties will persist indefinitely, even after unpledging. I really don't understand this design. Surely they should be like other bounties (can be paid off after a cooldown period, once you're no longer pledged to the power)? That's the end of powerplay for me in that case...

A power bounty just sits there, but there have been problems reported with the mechanics since the 3.0 update e.g. increased notoriety, hot ships, etc. (all of which is only meant to apply to C & P outside PP). Some interesting questions have been raised by other players e.g. what happens to a power bounty when you un-pledge? Later pledge with another power that is aligned to the superpower that was hostile? There's a thread on PP bounties in 3.0 that's worth a read. Power bounties don't appear to be something FD is looking at as part of the upcoming 3.0.3 patch.

My two cents. Don't have a problem with power bounties being sticky while you're pledged (with no consequence other than you remain a target for other PP players), but would be in favour of power bounties eroding over time if you un-pledge. In effect you've been forced to stop supporting the power and made to sit on the bench for a while. :)

Just to confirm that PP bounties don't disappear if you pledge to one of those powers, so you can be pledged to the power, and wanted by them, at the same time!
