WE ALL KNOW ABOUT THE /stal WORKAROUND!!! WE ARE ASKING TO NOT NEED A WORKAROUND!!! PLEASE STOP TRYING TO SABOTAGE EFFORTS AT REPAIRS BY SAYING TO JUST USE A WORKAROUND!!!

there, short, simple, to the point.
I don't consider it a workaround. I consider it a reasonable valid solution. What exactly is wrong with <stal> ? They added that because it was much simpler than totally reworking an existing system to fix a small problem when an easier solution was available. When the dev team is small and their time is limited, it makes sense to go the route that takes less time. Unless you want less content in your updates, of course.

//devil's advocate, it would be nice for a targeting revamp, just not optimistic about it happening
