No, but it should be noted that either one of those is most likely going
to be present on the system anyway if any sort of security is used in
AP/WDS/mesh/IBSS/STA.

One more interface to define and implement (user space between that new
daemon and hostapd/wpa_supplicant).. I'm not strongly against this, but
I would expect it to increase the total amount of work needed.
