Remember that ATC has the airspace at Podunk tied up until the (IFR) flight
plan is cancelled. It's on his mind.

That's true, but there's still room for error here that could easily be
automated into oblivion. Just seems odd to me that this wouldn't be
done, especially since it apparently already exists for VFR flight plans.
