The only thing that's less low effort is that this keeps David having to mess with it - which is what I'm hoping to avoid. As I said before - it doesn't matter to me - this is just a super cheap way of doing things and puts the onus on the people who want to follow this one all the way thru.
The good thing - is regardless of which way David decides to go - I think we'll be able to support making it happen relatively quickly.
