Just because you may want to swap to the boot server or swap to the
app server.

For me, this is very much a requirement (maybe not to most of the team
who uses one server).  In my environments, the app server need not be
on the same subnet as the boot server.  Often times, this could mean
going thru NAT.  Losing the ability to have the *user* choose
session/lang is a fair trade-off for me, as I prefer all that to be
dictated by the admin or handled on the app server side.  I am quite
anti-choice when it comes to the user's session.  :)
