The problem is that the xorg configuration needs to be in place before
there is a problem. When there is a problem, you cannot configure the
computer to respect C-A-B.

Would you like a car analogy? This is like car manufacturers removing
airbags from cars, because buses don't have airbags.  You are arguing
that the end user can install the airbags, but he must (1) know that
there are no airbags in the car, and (2) do it sometime before there
is a traffic accident.
