That isn't helpful - some code will have to be changed either way.
The goal is to identify a good point in the space formed by

The argument here is that we can pretty easily "break" multiple
displays, given that in reality, they're already broken in practice.
And I really, really dislike the "last one wins" behavior.  It's *my
data*.  Don't lose my data.

The bus could exit after a period of having no clients.
