I think I couldn't disagree more.  If there something that should
influence system design (usually as early as possible) are performance
considerations: they can't be an afterthought. That said, looking
forward to these "other means".

Certainly shouldn't be "tied" to the other, but if subproject
configuration becomes available in project.el, Eglot can easily take
advantage of it (perhaps even automatically).

As the Eglot "fix" for the current status quo, it's just a
documentation change to the manual.
