Really, the best thing is to raise this on the launchpad-dev mailing
list if you want to understand the problem better or discuss potential
solutions. It's likely that my previous email was too pessimistic, and
that a discussion will open up avenues I hadn't considered.

However, it's not actually going to get done until someone writes
code, and we won't be in a position to do that until next month.
