I'd say it's more about waiting until we find a situation that actually
requires the additional work. Right now, the goal is to make a leased
output never part of the desktop, and that's where the current design is
focused. If we find a real use for doing something more complicated
later, we'll figure it out then.

X has a long history of having systems designed in advance of their need
and having that make things harder in the future, rather than easier...
