I guess I’m missing some context: is this fixing a bug currently
present? (Apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere!)

The problem I see with this extra doc is that even I wouldn’t know how
to tell whether I’m going to “interact with seatd”. Fundamentally it’s
not something I really care about. :-)
How could we improve on this? Like, if this is important, should it be
the default?
Thanks,
