I know its not probably possible and there are most likely things wrong with it that I can't think of but I wish we could do more fostering with other lords like they would do that not just for friends but you know just in general liege would give their kid to a vassal (Doran Martell) and as far as I know Jon Arryn really didn't know Steffon Baratheon or Rickard Stark but he got Robert and Ned so I wish it was more prevalant and not just you cant do it thanks to the child held in foreign power modifier. Also wish you (the character) got more betrothal offers for sons all you ever get is for a daughter I know lords would offer their daughters to their liege or other lords and such.
Not sure what the point of this is it's really just me rambling but I wanted to write it down at least so sorry for the bother

Tbf Jon Arryn did know Rickard and Steffon pretty well, having grown close to them and Hoster Tully during the stepstones campaign and remain close as they all chafed under the increasingly volatile rule of Aerys, there's lots of theories tied to this grouping of lords paramount (which is sometimes taken to include Tywin as an associate member as his influence at court decline - after all remember Jaime was betrothed to Lysa) and whether they planned to force a reduction in royal authority or an abdication in favour of Rhaegar, such theories are known as the Soutgron Ambitions from the Barbrey Dustin speech which touches on this. It also explains things like why were there Mallisters and Arryns in Brandon Starks party when he rode to KL, why Aerys demanded Robert's head (sure Robert was engaged to Lyanna but it was the Starks who were threatening Rhaegar in his presence why drag another LP into it if not trying to wipe out all your enemies at once)
