Permanent Fix For the Bedrock block under Pre-1.17 Chunks (Beta 1.16.220)

The Problem:

I am assuming that the Giant block of bedrock in Bedrock Editon was simply the easiest way to fill in those old chunks, however, this ruins so many creative projects that currently utilize the void as it will just fill in the void with 16,000 blocks per chunk that you would have to clear out. Obviously, this was the simplest fix on the coding side of it but is far from the best fix for the community, also considering Mojang wants to "leave existing chunks alone" which is not what is happening here. I am not into coding, but I think that the time Mojang would take to code a better solution wouldn't even come close to the time it would save the Minecraft community as a whole from thousand hours of clearing out the new bedrock that just filled in their void.

My Solution:

Instead of loading in the new sub-chunks below existing chunks instead run a command in the pre 1.17 chunks (below y=0) that fills blocks adjacent to an existing block (including cave air) with bedrock. this would be a very simple way to create a bedrock wall which lots of people prefer over the solid bedrock.

    My main concern is that the bedrock will fill in the 1000 by 1000 block void in my creative world that I am currently using for a megaproject. if they keep the current beta's feature it would fill the entire thing in and force me to remove 64 billion more blocks.

    This is my favorite of the proposed solutions. It leaves the area under our existing bedrock empty and creates a transition to new chunks. I would prefer that there be some random block generation on the outside of the bedrock wall, so we don’t have the cubes and columns of bedrock when we encounter old chunks. However this seems the most elegant solution to me. It preserves the feel of the old generation without the downsides of spawnable areas that are inaccessible or the detriment to those who went through the effort to make void perimeters. Additionally, for the very motivated, there is the chance to find a bedrock breaking method and then take the chance of building something in these chunks that floats above the void... not me but braver souls.
