Also, I have created a topic [4] similar to your subject several months ago so I think theymos has read about this problem and may be planning to solve it in the future. "I do not know why he took a quick solution in this case."
In general, he commented on a similar issue here.
The main reason that I went for [the DT1 modification] rather than forcing custom lists is that I would like to show some trust indicator to guests. But before doing that, I want to see whether these modifications can actually be made to work. If not, then I may go to the force-custom-lists solution, and that's incompatible with guests seeing any trust indicators.
