The road to bloatness is paved with lots of little features. There aren't that many users anyway (none of the examples use that feature). I'd prefer to concentrate on a simple and correct relayfs layer and we can still think about other features as more users appear. Starting a design by implementing every little feature which _might_ be needed is a really bad idea.
