I do not agree. You say that simple-scan and every other frontend
should implement the ability to configure the backend. This is bad
design because:

1) There is no interoperability between frontends (user must configure
each frontend).
2) Every frontend author should take effort and write the code.
3) Code duplication.

Please tell if it's hard to implement global backend option and why.
