We have a solution that unquestionably will work, now. It's not ideal
from a UI standpoint, but it's better than the $nothing that we have
now. I would not want to see us wait around for something that may or
may not happen in the future.
That said, if we can make this work with dialog now, and someone is
willing to put the work in to make it happen, then sure, that's a better
plan. But let's not let perfect be the enemy of good.
