It seems to me that this part is a little odd.

What happens if this is used on a system that uses a different backend?
You will have something in the UI that pokes at a backend not in use,
so you will get something that doesn't do what it says. If you want
to encourage other apps to make use of this then isn't it something
that should be abstracted such that they don't call something
backend-specific?

Thanks,
