Last I remember, the grandfather clause had the following restrictions: had to be an elf before the human-only realm, had to stay in Sirion. Thus after that rule, nobody could become elves, but elves could be lost by character death/deletion and my migratory humanification.

That said, I mean, could have been simpler to just say elves are humans. Like, an ethnicity, or phenotype, or whatever. Because what are elves, anyways? Humans with pointy ears? And in a lot of fantasy world, those ears aren't even all that pointy. RL humans show far greater phenotypic diversity than the difference we see when we look at humans and elves in PJ's LotR movies, for example.
