 I think the best thing to do at this time would be to get a solution in
 that works right away without being too "hacky." (So able to be sustained
 over time). The latter solution, the easy one, sounds best to me since the
 worst that happens in this case is that its double the size due to being
 universal but this shouldn't negatively affect anyone.

 The former solution seems silly to do if there is an easier one (the
 latter one) instead.
