That's not the "institution" posited.  That's an accomodation for sh'as
sakana, and only for sh'as sakana.  It was suggested here that there was
some sort of "institution" that we should always light inside, even when
there is no sakana, in case there should ever be one, or something like
that.  This was given as a reason why most people light inside today.
I want to know where there is even a zecher to such a takana.
