    Day 1: I go to a pub and order a bitter. Bartender serves me, I'm happy.
    Day 2: I go to the same pub and order a bitter. Bartender serves me, I'm happy.

    Day 4: I go to the very same pub. Bartender serves me a bitter, just what I was about to order, I'm happy.

    Is it that bad? As long as you're a customer, it hasn't always to be a drawback when you're somehow "tracked" and your host makes you offers that suit your taste.

    AFAICS Cairo is even more than a DC, even sharing some concepts with it, and it has many backends (and obviously several frontends, being a library). But the point is that it's a relatively young project, thus more a candidate for a standard than a standard itself. Also, should it become a real standard, we live in a world where standards are a nice thing because there's a lot of them to choose from. I'm afraid that, when Cairo reaches a sufficient popularity, there will still be people trying to reinvent the wheel by providing some sort of reimplementation of DCs.
