At some point (13spd, 14spd?) it seems that some kind of floating ring or spider will become necessary. I think it makes more sense to have the ring floating on a big spline as opposed to small individual chainring bolts? A big spline like you get with CINCH just extended and then have a crank/ring interface that's replaceable and has low friction.
I mean, the whole thing makes me shiver but my guess is that it will eventually become necessary.
