Given the range of stuff that it's used for, I'm not sure anyone ever had a solid idea of what Laconic was supposed to be.
Anyway, here's what I think, split out more...
-Import Laconic. Because I'm always for keeping stuff.
-Give every page -something- as a starting summary. Either use Laconic, and then auto-generate if no Laconic exists, or auto-generate everything.
-Tag every page as needs_summary. Because it's going to be a long job, and it might actually get done if people can tell what still needs doing.
From the way you said "the majority will be autogenerated in any case", I'm assuming the auto-generate fallback is already part of A2 through A4.
So, that gives me a final reply of A1 or A4, with a moderate preference for A1.
-Morgan.
