is required for sourcing, and it's going to result in people (such as
myself) avoiding using {{fact}} or {{unreferenced}} tags because it'd
draw unwanted consequences.

These are all excellent points. Particularly, the addition of somewhat irrelevant references, just for the sake of it, would be a quality crash, not a quality drive.
