No, Stupid Ken.  Even when using Newtonian mechanics you need to use the
speed of light constant.  For example, designing antenna systems,
waveguides, communicating with distant spacecraft and so forth.
(technically, semi- Newtonian mechanics since pure Newtonian mechanics
assumes the speed of light is infinite)

No, Stupid Ken.  SR and LET work just fine with or without the current
definition of the meter.  IRT never works at all, so it doesn't matter.
As I stated, the only reason for the change in definition is because it
is easier and more accurate to measure distances by timing how long light
takes to travel the distance than it is to measure it with a meter stick.
Thus the meter being redefined in terms of c leads to more accurate
measurements when necessary.  Just like how redefining the second from
1/86,400 of a day to the cesium clock standard makes for more accurate
measurements.
