What are you planning to do when some jurisdiction does summer/retarted ?
I'm not Stephen, but I assume the answer would be, "We can cross that bridge when we get to it; we don't have to solve it now", and I don't think that's necessarily a completely indefensible position. You're basically trading off a huge amount of pain now to solve a problem that *might* happen later, versus the exact same amount of pain later if/when you actually do have the problem, except by then, you and everyone else who has to endure the pain are much more motivated to do so.
