This seems like an ok compromise to me. It feels a little hacky, but as @chasemp pointed out on IRC, there's no way to do this that isn't a little hacky. It'd be nice to have a wider conversation about this, because I think it's going to be a surprising outcome to many people. A concise and appropriately prominent explanation of this tradeoff as part of a wider rollout will be helpful here.
