That is hardly a good argument.

What is the *reason* you want this?

The reason users want to TP away from a region is usually to start
over somewhere else as soon as possible. I'm pretty sure that most
users don't like having to wait very long.

Surely there is a good technical solution to this problem, so
lets just solve it.

PS "many of us" is a bit vague... personally I have the feeling that
   most users will agree with Morgaine that tp-ing away from a region
   should never be impossible because that region is non-responsive.
