We are going very soon to look into the actual data. If my current assumption holds, that more than 99% of all links are simple 1:1 links, the requirement for a more complex system might be deferred to later.
If there is a big fraction of language links currently representing a more intricate structure, we have to rethink that assumption. But until then, I hope we can start with the simpler solution.
