All of your above statement.  It is, basically, completely wrong, and
shows that you haven't thought about the solution I'm proposing at all.

I've shown you in simple steps how easy it is.  It is not invasive.  It
is not complex.  It is local to the affected drivers.  So, all your
points above are plain wrong.  Hence "rubbish".
