@dubstepped,
I completely share your point of view.
DA instead of fading may be an extreme solution, but sometimes the extreme solution is the only solution.
The announcement of the DA will not take long, the policy says it can be done in the very next service meeting. (Only when there's a DFing decision a 7-day space is given, in case one wants to appeal, but in the DA the appeal does not apply, obviously.)
