Situation: - Me not really that interested (I don't need it) - I do have opinions and think it should be done via a language of constraints on max account value or changes fo them (but what does it matter if I don't implement it) - Fava people have already done work on this, see what they've done, they're the ones innovating on this. (Note: I'm unlikely to spend much time doing any major feature changes like this over the next many many months, all free bandwidth is redirected to machine learning since I got a role in the research dept, there's so much meat there I have little time for anything else.)
