1. We know this is already a problem.
2. The fix to this problem is huge, difficult and very invasive. It requires a new protocol extension and all the inertia that comes with it.
3. The proper fix to this problem breaks client-side API. see 2.
4. Workarounds can be found, but are limited to some use-cases only and will not work for the generic solution, because see 2.
5. We don't have enough man-power to fix this at this point, because see 2.

Please refrain from commenting on this bug unless you can help with 5. Points 1 to 4 are pretty much non-negotiable.
