Proposal to change the 'indexer cut' mechanism

I think that the objective of this GIP should only be to reduce the amount of work needed from an indexer to keep the effective cut-rate at the desired rate, and to facilitate choosing an indexer for delegators.
What’s interesting here is all the thoughts and ideas that this GIP are generating concerning the impact on delegators.
In my opinion, we need to focus on one thing for this GIP and that is to make the effective cut calculation automatic. Because we all agree on its importance, and it doesn’t impact much the protocol.
All the other suggestions will directly impact the delegator model, which I believe needs a visit on its own.
Questions like, how to use the cooldown parameter to protect delegators, max and min cap rates, liquid rewards, thawing period, a delegator delegating to an open allocation…
All these questions are intertwined and fall under the delegator’s model, which I believe when the time comes needs to be treated together.
