I agree, the policy is (and should) be simple and without contrived
complexity to fix real issue in wrong place.

The abuse potential is in current policy as well. so it should not
factor in here either, they can be tackled separately, but I
definitely support tackling the problem.

It is such a simple, elegant and obvious way to manage finite
resources, put non-zero cost to them. It fixes other complex problems
as well, not just arbitrary policy abuse.
