Yup, absolutely.

As a mature system, unlike the early days, randomly adding a "desired" feature without first considering if a generalized form can be added is simply irresponsible to our users. Response by Brian on the side thread also indicates that we have already spent enough effort to the generalized trailer support and building on top, instead of randomly adding an ad-hoc "feature", may be the right and feasible approach.
