I think we need to talk about hardware capabilities at this point.

I was assuming that it would actually be possible to run two interfaces
with different paths here concurrently - is that not true? If that's
not true, then we absolutely _need_ dynamic switching, I agree with
Felix, but then we have a pretty big complication to figure out. But we
can't let this optimisation affect user experience.
