We don't want "mitigation", we want true correctness --- or at least the level of perfection achievable before manufacturers thought they could operate with negative data integrity margins and convinced others that it was fine (one popular memory testing utility made RH tests optional and hidden by default, under the reasoning that "too many DIMMs would fail"!) All DRAM generations before DDR2 and early DDR3 didn't have this problem.
RAM that doesn't behave like RAM is not RAM. It's defective. ECC is merely an attempt at fixing something that shouldn't've made it to the market in the first place. AFAIK there is a RH variant that manages to flip bits undetectably even with ECC RAM.
