It's a consequence of our original use case, hotplugged devices on laptops.
We wanted to save power by only opening devices as needed.

I guess at this point I'd be willing to change the config so that if
socket_export us disabled (e.g. there are no client sessions) nowait is
forced on.

Gary, would that address your complaints?
