So, this thread has died two weeks ago, and it is still an open item.
Could it be possible to move to a resolution by beta1? The consensus
I can get from the thread is that we should have a tri-value state to
track an extra "auto" for the query ID computation, as proposed by
Alvaro here:

Unfortunately, nothing has happened to be able to do something like
that.
