I wonder what would happen if I simply declared by fiat that ba'e is
deprecated, and you should use ge'e or another UI instead (since
AFAICT they have exactly the same "meaning" (or, rather, lack of
meaning)), and in 2 years if no insurmountable problems are found
it'll be removed from the grammar?

This strikes me as about the largest change I could make without
immediately being tossed out on my ass. -_-
