i have a new tactic for how to deal with enthusiastic feature requests from co-workers:

outline the first unwelcome consequence of introducing it.
then what would be necessary to deal with that consequence.
then how to rectify the amount of repetition of work they’d have to do because of that rectification.
then an outline of how to automate that repetition.
and then how that automation will severely impede their ability to easily correct earlier decisions.
