Hardly. Sorry. :-)

There's no technical solution to this. It's all or nothing. All is basically
inappropriate for two incredibly sensible reasons:

  a) The flags are being misused in the UI anyway, so are not necessary

  b) They cause all sorts of problems

So, nothing. It is hardly controversial, just a simple, straight-forward
solution.
