I don't know if we need actual shunning. But I think there is a consequence to loss of trust. It means that the disqualified person can't trust CoAlphas not to sleep with his wife, not to lie to him, etc. In other words, he loses the benefit of being able to trust CoAlphas and he is effectively reduced to relationships on the level of common culture. I know that in my case, this is meaningful. I would go out of my way to do things for a CoAlpha, but I treat non-CoAlphas more or less like people in the modern world treat each other which means that I will not go out of my way to do much for them.
