No solution is perfect.
Now here is a concrete proposal that could move forward. Will there be kinks to iron it out? Yes, but at least it is a recommendation that can be moved forward. Whether it becomes functional or not is irrelevant to the concept of proposing a specific solution versus repeating the mantra.
