Review comment:
       > but I think only partially adding this feature means that it isn't 
done right
   
   OK now we are on the same page. This change doesn't add new restriction, but 
you think we should loose the restriction in a more proper way that works 
better with session catalog plugin.
   
   I agree with it, and I'm going to revert this change (since I fliped the 
config) and do it later.
