Two responses to that, in no particular order of importance:

1. So you said, and yet the mere existence of that page out on the 
intertubez has (oddly enough) not yet spurred the secretariat into action.

2. In a previous message you also indicated that you had some sort of 
forwarding solution that you're using which has been successful for you. 
IME approaching someone with a statement to the effect of, "Here is a 
solution which I have used successfully and would be willing to help you 
implement" generally has a much better response rate than "Here is a URL 
with a list of possible solutions." YMMV of course.

At the end of the day the question remains, do we want to solve this 
problem, or do we want to continue complaining about it?
