Prisoners and Colonists

Now that these can no longer be donated under the "Coordinate Colonization" fleet project, I'm struggling to find a use for these.
Assumptions:
The rewards for turning in fed prisoners have been nerfed into uselessness, and the kdf mission always fails. The rewards for colony doff missions aren't worth the investment in supplies that must accompany those missions.
Is there any other use I'm just missing?
Assumptions:
- I've completed the nebulae assignment chains and/or done trying to grind doffs from them.
- I've reserved a small number of prisoners for universal endeavors.

For KDF prisoners I keep throwing ten at the Security officer mission, which doesn't fail too often for me. Plus there are a variety of 'Forced Labour Requisition' missions (in Tactical) in space areas that take four prisoners, also on the KDF side for more dilithium...

Fed side options are very limited. There is the 'Negotiate Prisoner Exchange' but only for a single prisoner at a time, and only gives a green or blue doff in return. (also on KDF)

There's a Tactical or Security Duty Officer mission that allows the player character to exchange 2 KDF Prisoners for up to a Very Rare quality Starfleet Duty Officer. I rarely see it but it appears to spawn more consistently in sector space near Deep Space 9 in the Alpha Quadrant.
For that matter, I often go a week or more without doffing or doing admiralty at all, but that is more because of time constraints than anything else, but this change just discourages doing those missions on top of the time problems. It has gotten to the point where often I just pop in and do the event for the day then leave.
It just doesn't make sense to me that they removed them as donation options for the colonization project. It was the only worthwhile option for a lot of people. And it was also a good way to have a project going in fully built fleets that newcomers could earn fleet rank on.
The thing is, people tend to overlook exceptions like that after a while of it not working on the many more projects that used to accept them but no longer do. Setting the majority of the projects to not accept them is just going to stall fleet holdings and make people less inclined to do doffing and admiralty missions to get those now largely useless units.
