I do not know how enthusiastic the average person would be, to leave the fate of the Enchanted Forest, in the hands of a pirate. Is that any riskier than placing your new-born baby into a magical wardrobe, hoping that someone on the other side would find it, and then hoping again that, after 28 years, said baby would know that they should come back to save everyone?

At least, if it played out with Charming and Snow sending the message, they would be trusting in something that was at least a little more predictible the second time around.
