I concur.

I suppose with such a small set of users of this feature, it should be 
possible to intersect set of users vs. set of probe owners and see how 
many probes would be affected in the worst case - if all of the users 
withdrew all of their probes?


If it is not a _significant_ part of network, I would say ... "Nuke it 
from orbit."
