I'm convinced that if the current implementation in gnome-session is
improved to be more general and a second implementation of the interface
actually appears, that upstream would be happy to consider a patch for it.

Right now there's not much point from their side to spend time on
improving for a future theoretical scenario. (Specially since no matter
how much preparatory work they do, peoples first step always seems to
be to fork rather then contribute.)
