i hope i have made the underlying user problem clear [here](https://forum.getodk.org/t/have-collect-exactly-match-the-forms-on-central/23101/2). i'll restate that from the research i have done, solving that problem will make a significant impact on users: actual hundreds or thousands of hours of frustration and error may be returned to people's lives.

i don't feel i understand the ecosystem or Collect well enough to recommend a specific path forward relative to the sensible concerns expressed here, and i leave it with faith in y'all's hands to find it.
