We are already working on a similar feature based on checkquorum, but I
got injured on my hand and I had to delay a bit the write up for the
feature (I am incredibly slow writing with one hand, never mind the
typos ;)).

The way you suggest is dangerous, so no, don't take that route.

The full feature proposal will come soon after this December
holiday/xmas break.
