Yup.  I know that, but it's not consistent with the design 
of separate backends and frontends.  It still means a user 
has to have X running in order to setup a backend.

Maybe it's a silly idea, because the frontend requires X 
and a backend to run.  It's surely not a top priority, but 
just something that I noticed that *seems* to contradict the 
architecture/dependency changes for the backend for v0.8.
