My original motivation was to avoid having to copy code from connect.c into git-cinnabar, which is what I'm currently doing[1]. Things derailed a little, and we got ourselves somewhat in the middle of a refactor, that I'm willing to push a little further (like, refactor things such that host_end only happens once). My hope is that this makes the code more maintainable.
