More like "oof ..."

You're right, it's *a* solution, but it'd involve a lot of tedious work.
It's not just adding a column to all the system tables.  If I interpret
correctly what Mark and Gene are concerned about, it'd also mean
changing the code so that any update to a system-table row would
automatically clear the "I'm a standard item" flag.  That's not just
tedious, it's also the sort of thing that will break because someone
forgets to do it someplace.

I think everyone is keeping quiet until they can think of a better
idea...
