I must agree with Nick point of view in 100% here.

Indeed when discussions on LC were going on there was strong support from
operators stating this is what we want and it is good enough. Let's keep it
simple.

For more advanced including well known actions let's focus on wide
communities as they have public and private use of communities build in
from day one.

Many thx,
R.
