Hmm ... putting the UI into a contrib module would neatly solve the
problem for people who don't want the functionality.  They just don't
install the module.  Another thought here is that it seems like we've
been discussing multiple scenarios that don't necessarily all have the
same best solution.  Maybe we should think in terms of multiple contrib
modules.
