OK. A little bit dramatic, and half those options exist anyway, as previous releases have the same issues. But, moving forward, let's start with this: Alex, Justin, if you can each write one paragraph summarizing the problem, and one paragraph with the most workable way out, please. I will then try to figure out a solution that we can all agree upon, or start a vote if we can't.
