This was informed by a woeful misreading of X-MEN Annual 11.

I don't know if I can agree with that.  It certainly didn't have to be that way.  Anyway, I prefer the bone-lacing idea.  I think one of the ideas that made Wolverine a farce were the bone claws.  Quite possibly, one of the worst ideas ever.

I'll never understand why that character is such a huge cashcow. But I liked it better when they whored him less.

Well, I certainly remember when that was retconned in, after Shooter decided a fully adamantium skeleton was "unrealistic".

once you drained out all that goop in the feet.

Gross <lol>!

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding what lacing means, but I've always understood it to be that the adamantium takes up every available nook and cranny of the bone making it so inundated with the metal as to be near-impossible to break.  The metal could fill up the lattice of the inner bone and be interwoven with the compact outer area of the bone.  The whole process could even be done on a microscopic level (surely that's no less plausible idea than fitting him with a shiny new skeleton).  Any slight fractures that might occur would be held in place because of the adamantium and would heal quickly.  Just my overall impression.
