(Just summing up what we discussed on IRC)

So the result from all this work is that normal desktop users will get
nothing, except an API and quite some infrastructure to maintain.

I'm not sure what to answer to this question right now. I'd like to hear
what others have to say as well.

In addition, Colin Guthrie's patches two years ago which implement the
device priority lists should perhaps be revived, either instead of this
routing patch set, or in parallel/combination with it. Because that's
something that would actually bring benefit to users. And seen in
hindsight, we probably should have merged that patch set instead of
waiting for this routing patch set.
