Actually that part wasn't meant as a "for now" solution.  It can of
course be thrown away in favor of having the daemon store all this
information, but I'm seeing no advantages to that right now.

There are other things which the daemon can eventually try to keep
track of, if we don't decide they belong in a higher layer.
