Not necessarily. The object config parsing code is already riddled with
#ifdef NSCORE
do_stuff();
#elif defined(NSCGI)
do_other_stuff();
#endif

so we could potentially add this stuff to the CGI's. It's not my itch to
scratch, but I'll accept patches along those lines.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
