Let me state the issue from a different perspective.
Remote X is (in my experience) very rare, probably under 1%
Local X is (in my experience) very common, probably 99%
So...
Should X continue with a model that makes improvements to
the common case very slow/difficult so that the rare case
preforms okay?
or
Should X move to a model that makes it much easier to add
improvements to the common case and then require the rare
case to be handled as a special case?
