Comment (by pulkomandy):
Another one: decorators.
This is solved by having two separate instances of the decorator object,
that should be no problem at all and is not a reason to run two separate
processes.
There may be good reasons to do it, but it looks like you are trying to
fit all existing (or maybe even non-existing) problems to your preferred
solution here.
The argument for using multiple process is mainly about security and
making sure that an user can't access another's data. A possible second
argument is resilience (if each user gets a separate input_server, an
input_server crash could affect only one user and not everyone). Both of
these are in the somewhat unlikely case that we even allow multiple users
to use a machine at the same time, do we even want to go that way?
Running input_server and app_server as part of the user session is
probably a good short/mid term solution to the problem here, while at the
same time not being a good long term solution for future multiuser use
cases. But we can make the change when we actually start doing multiuser,
which as far as I know is still one of the things we put in the R2 roadmap
precisely because we know it will require large changes to the way we do
things.
