The question is not about workarounds: any workaround would be inappropriate in
some ways, like using in ToCs or cross-references. That isn't a user question
"How do I do this?" either. This is a proposal to enhance the functionality, in
particular, to allow a range of pages *with breaks with page number resets* to
share a single page style, with possibility to change the style in *one single
place* (at the beginning of the range, without the need to go through all the
places where page numbers are reset).

So I suppose that the idea of this request is to provoke such discussion and
create such Jira issue :-)
