I don't see my description as aesthetics, but maybe I wasn't clear. It
could theoretically be an security issue, keeping both separated gives
the user a choice of what should be present.

Of course this is a theoretic issue, but the separation of server+client
where applicable when the nature of an application allows it makes sense
to me.

If you don't agree, I can send an updated patch which just adds murmur
to the 'out'.
