There is one approach with dispenses with this sort of silliness: (1) Developer does not put any red tags on anything so as not to set any “desires” into others hearts….(2) When developer redpoints the thing, he publishes the FA with the date when it was BOLTED. This works well for remote projects, out of public eye. The rationale is simple – if others dont play by the rules, there is no reason why the route developer should, eh?
