Agreeing with Rob (despite my other reply asking why the current

I think I answer also your comments in my reply to Rob,
please check!

that we do have a desire to
have the ability to create bindings for connectors - this has been
discussed before.

Let's create bindings for connectors.

But I have this caveat: let's create a binding for connectors
that does not stipulate that its children must be populated
using overlays, but could optionally be bound to driver that
populate the children any way the OS want to do this.
