Probably we hit it* with a big stick until it doesn't automatically
set this 'ever-confirmed' flag.

Either that, or we figure out a different way to indicate that we want
information from the OP or from one of the other commenters/cc'd

implementation time...

 But (as always), this will all need to wait until after we finish the
migration.
