In fact, we have an implementation for MY proposal [1] from you which
lacks normalization.  You might remember that your proposal was an
additional config option which would have introduced yet more problems.

And we have a discussion whether the socket should be in a public or
private place, because Mones spotted a problem with the public place
which made me reconsider. 

So, indeed, somebody should decide whether that problem is considered
too academic, and we don't care, or whether it's worth attacking, in
which case the need for a live-update migration path is the worst part.
