Comment (by waddlesplash):
There need to be multiple app_servers per-user simply due to the 32-bit
address space limitation, unless somehow we do not care about that. Not to
mention that proper privilege separation in app_server is basically
impossible and it is far easier to just run more than one of them.
Like I said above, if input_server is going to support user add-ons, then
by definition it must run on a per-user basis. At least app_server could
theoretically not allow user-installed add-ons, but input_server
absolutely must. Or we have to add an input_addon_server, but that would
add a lot of overhead and "unnecessary complication."
