Complexity is the enemy of strenght and lightness.
The main problems with current keyhole brackets are small bolt heads and wire gate carabiners. We just need bolters to use 10mm bolts which have big heads instead of 3/8" bolts that have small heads.
Darwin's law should eventually sort out anyone who uses wire gate carabiners with keyhole brackets.
