A while back, we had a chat with kernel people why we do so. IIRC the conclustion was that existing userspace will just work, since it already must handle cases when you unplug your only monitor. I think Ilia was having a pretty reasonable assumption, that's why I did before digging deeper, as opposed to saying there _are_ such cases.
