My snag is that they push the work on individual Eu countries where the EU has already proposed a perfectly fine solution, which helps you and helps me, but the UK isn't having it. But there's no suggestion they are even aware of this one, so they come up with free citizenship, but if they had read a few blogs from the3million or brits in the UK, they would have know right away that alternatives exist, which they didn't discuss.

Okay, I think I get you now. I guess their response would be, as supporters of a "hard" Brexit, EU institutions cannot have a role in domestic politics in post-Brexit Britain. So EU proposals on this point are not worth considering (as they stand). I'm not sure, but I suspect the EU also knows this will be the case with a hard Brexit, and demands for the ECJ governing the rights of EU citizens in the UK in the future will fade with time if the UK ends up moving in the "hard" rather than "soft" direction. If that is the case, I hope EU citizens are treated fairly.

Currently we are still landed with settled status, lose all the family reunification rights, and other EU goodies and have no right of appeal if rejected. Not too big a problem in my situation but it pisses me off something awful.

I imagine the EU people in the UK are going to be the big losers, as it's the UK that's barely compromising. It may be easier for EU countries to absorb you all into their current law, but I do hope they show more fairness than their version of "settled status"
