As we get more familiar with making HAL/CK policy edits, these sorts
of questions will lose meaning.  HAL/CK policies can and will be
customized away from the default set of rules written with a shared
desktop in mind.  There's no technical reason that a music server
daemon package for example couldn't drop in new policy that changed
the behavior here.  We just have to understand how to write that
policy file and then agree that's the sort of thing we want server
packages to do on install.
