If have an answer or not doesn't matter, the OSM community is more
than the sum of it's parts and some people may already have experience
with other systems that do do this already and may be able to offer
insight into how to do it best. The important thing is to discuss it
and come up with a suitable solution, this won't be quick or easy but
is the right thing to do.

That's really the wrong attitude, we need to solve a very fundemental
problem and applying a multitude of half solutions is the wrong way to
handle the situation and it leaves things in worst shape going into
the future.
