I didn't say it was the perfect solution, just that none of the others
are more fair.

I don't agree, we've seen the messes, and I predicted they would be
messy when they first announced their silly plans.  And they turned
out to be even more messy than I had envisioned.

There is no ideal solution, but FCFS is the best I've seen.  All other
plans have resulted in nothing but headaches and messes, and everyone
and their brother complaining that someone else might have gotten an
advantage through some perceived manipulation, real or imagined.

All the other "solutions" have just brought the nuts out of the
stands.
