Please, just ONE LOGICAL VALID argument, not speculation. Otherwise, stop with the nay saying.
I think you should look seriously at the suggestion offered of using an event trigger to get what you desire here. I think the most logical argument is that there is no need to do anything if a solution is available on the table right now. Whether or not you agree with someone's fear of the side effects of a larger solution - if you can use a tool that is already available you should.
You are also more than happy to produce any patch that you would like to offer up for inclusion. I completely appreciate that for any reason you may not be able to offer up such a patch - but on the other hand - you cannot demand that someone create the patch for you if they do not desire.
