The gani method is byfar the easiest as modifying the ganis to support it using notepad, nano, vim, emacs, etc. takes roughly 1-2 minutes per gani if you know what you're doing (If you're using vim or emacs, you should be able to figure it out rather quickly )

You mostly just need to understand alpha layer concepts, mostly that the alpha layer is averaged, not added or subtracted.

How is that going to help for servers/bodies that are already existing? Let new servers do whatever they want, but that is not what this is for.
