This is it. Assuming the material is there, mill down mount, drill, tap, helicoil the holes because you're already paying a machinist.
This is the best solution presented so far really.
It sounds like you've decided against doing this, but if someone else is thinking about it, if you machine one post shorter than the other in order to rotate it, you're likely going to have problems bolting it back into place since the bolts won't be close to perpendicular with the brake mount flanges.
That's what the wobbly washers from a +20mm adapter do. But the fact remains that the 200mm post mounts can't be shaved down to get the caliper anywhere close to where you need it, the caliper is positioned as high as possible in order to keep it close to the fork leg. You could however make an adapter that moved the caliper lower and further away from the leg, however is suspect it would result in a lot more flex than Mr. Woo is currently experiencing with his boost approved rotor.
It's ok bro. We forgive you
There is a Panaracer Rampage tire - proof of insanity.We need a fork mod thread...but since we don't, I will put this here:
Have an old 26" fork and want to run a 29" tire, but you don't want to actually buy a 29er fork? No problem!
Possible. Shoot me a drawing if you have one.
o bwahahaha. i know that gui. he's trying to sell it (again) on local forums.We need a fork mod thread...but since we don't, I will put this here:

Both of my trail bikes have that with 203 front rotors.
And mine does too.........now.
