You are asking philosophically uncomfortable questions; this is probably the best place to ask, since they are issues of policy and plan and current implementation, rather than issues of physical necessity. That is, the problems are problems because that's the way the code is written, not because that's the way the universe must work. You get technical answers because a number of us have defended our viewpoints until our arguments have become highly refined.
