With all due respect we are not talking about the system as it is now, we are discussing a possible benefit which if implemented would clearly need the system to be changed to allow this functionality. The LH example shows it can be done without raising expectations or splitting up families, it may not be easy to implement technically but that doesn't mean the idea is a bad one.....
