They could easily avoid this by designing the flange to not be flat. They could either tilt it or put a small bump in the middle of hit such that a ball that lands on it can't stay on it.

For as often as this happens, I think they should just leave it alone. The rim manufacturers may disagree, but I think it is looking for a solution for a problem that does not exist.

And I think it's a great solution to, admittedly, a very small problem.

Maybe we should take a poll.

I'm fine with that too, just pointing out that it is very easy to solve...and they don't have to make it mandatory on old rim...just as they get replaced.
