Making families more scalable would also admit things like semi-public families. E.g. you could share a family key with all the node operators in a common building. Detecting things like same network can be done automatically with enough reliability, likewise for very coarse geographies, but fine geographical configuration would take manual intervention... I don't know if anyone would bother configuring this, but it would be nice if the system scaled well enough to support it.
There are other neat things you could do. A node can suddenly start belonging to more than one familty, so that I might put all my own nodes in one family, and then that one node that another guy has access too can be put in his family, too. This all needs a solid design and a proposal, but I think if you manage to build it in a way that is easy to set up for operators this might have a chance in the future (obviously you'd need to wait with actually using it until client versions that don't understand it are obsolete, but that is just an argument for starting the proposal quickly).
