I'm not sure I understand your questions. Multiple monitor sessions are like multiple shell sessions. I don't think a control program should use more than one session, but it should allow a developer to connect to issue 'info registers' and 'x/20i' commands. Of course if a developer issues 'quit' or a hotunplug command, things will break.
Please no more async notifications to the monitors. They are just ugly to parse, at least for us humans. I don't want to see any notification in the middle of my half-typed command e.g.
If we can identify an interactive session, we might redraw the partial command after the prompt.
btw, why would a human enable notifications? Note notifications enabled on the management session will only be displayed there.
