Thanks! So now we also know who'd have to do the most work for any
changes here.

Thanks again for doing the math.

That's not nothing, though also not enough to justify spending lots of
time on what's now essentially a broken model (large aggregates), IMO.

(And I'm saying that not from a priviledged position, not having stood
up an MDQ service myself, yet, nor am I eager to introduce real-time
availability dependencies on our infastructure for every login,
something Hub&Spoke federation operators will certainly laugh at.)
