I'm saying that we should hear the complaints first and devise the
solution only after that. It is quite likely that the actual
complaints will tell us something which will affect the solution we
devise.

Any complex solution runs the risk of having unintended consequences,
so IMO we should understand the problem better before we decide on a
solution.
