The first time this was discussed didn't come up with an ideal
solution, and the existing situation is severely broken. Hence why this
thread is going back to first principles -- once we've established what
the problem really is, *then* we can start discussing solutions again.

If you don't have anything constructive to say about the former, please
keep quiet about the latter. That *you* cannot see an adequate
solution does not mean that others won't after proper discussion.
