No-no-no, it's still a fix, regardless of the drawbacks or assumptions. Maybe V can survive like that, maybe not, maybe they will move somewhere safer and start over, we don't know, but the thing that was killing them the whole plot is fixed. If you look around the thread you may notice that like at least half of us have talked about 'trade-off' options for Karlach where the theoretical fix comes with side-effects, sacrifices or new problems. I'll personally take the option of my Tav having to make some Bad Decisions for themselves (shady deals and all), too.

Prices and consequences are technicalities. The presence of a choice and an ability to explore all the options available - that's the crux of it.
