I understand your point, the generated stream is not very reusable if
the fd is 'hardcoded'. On the other hand, the primary use for this
feature is the case where an exporter feeds directly into an importer.
What use case do you see for re-use of a stream where the report-fd is
used? Or are your objections based on some other ground?
