I think that's an interesting question and I understand why you're asking it. But not knowing an answer today doesn't mean we won't find one in the future. Unless the deliberate goal is to make it impossible to do this for some reason, it feels like closing the door is a poor choice. Suppose DELEG is not deployed in a meaningful way, for some reason, but some other use case for parent-side type comes to light after DELEG has been abandoned. Is there a cost I am not seeing in making that situation easy to handle now? To be clear, this is not a criticism of DELEG. I am in favour of people implementing it and will do what I can to help make that happen. But things don't always work out.
