Dinah was just a wee bit ahead of us.....the compromises come in implementation. That's the only place they can be. Nonetheless, the binary decision is mandatory or nothing. There is no half way.
I didn't create the situation. I'm trying to describe the one we've got to consider. What you have been proposing as your idea of compromise is not of any impact in so far as bringing us closer to a solution. You are offering me "no effect" or "no effect". One of those is doing nothing, and the other is your idea of a solution, and I can't tell them apart.
The solution is mandatory trigger flags. The implementation is still barely discussed. I'm sure that you can see that I'm starting at the very bottom of the process, with that one issue. Some decisions really are black and white (binary), even though you've been taught to think otherwise.
Once that decision is made, then there's a lot more to talk about.
