Caveat, I am not currently living or working in Wormhole Space, nor have I.
I can understand the ability of an array that scans for and detects Worm Holes, being placed in a solar system to alert those in it that a Worm Hole has opened up. I can understand that array broadcasting that information to those in that system. That should be the end of CCP's involvement. A Worm Hole forms, has two ends, if one of those ends is in a system that has a detection array, it is detected and people can be notified. The detection array should be programed to be selective to whom it sends that information to. If Corp A installs a detection array, then they should be able to select only their corp and/or alliance to receive that information. If Corp B wants that information, they would need to install an array in that system as well.
Also, if the capsuleers entered the system via a Wormhole, there is no record of that entry, hence no notification in local as the Gate did not record and or transmit that information ( I believe this is current functionality, it should never be modified). Once that capsuleer makes a transmission, that transmission is detected in system (current functionality I believe). However, if not transmitted in local, local should just get a blank "unknown" added to it. This should also be true if entering a system via a cyno. Sure, your systems detected the cyno, but not who, if anyone, entered via that cyno.
For a particular type of Wormhole not being detected by the an array, OK, I get that. But for that array to suddenly detect it when someone transits it... I say BS. Either that type of Wormhole is detectable, or it is not. If the Wormhole is not detectable, how was it found in the first place? I do not buy the argument about fairness. Something either is, or it is not. Let those in system figure out how to deal with the situation, not CCP.
You want a Wormhole to handle any amount of mass, but it collapses after an approximate timeframe, no problem. You want a Wormhole to collapse after an approximate amount of mass has transited it, no problem. You want a Wormhole to have a combination of those, sure, but either it is detectable or it is not.
Space is NOT safe. Wormhole space, even less so. Live with it.
