Russ summarized pretty well how we came to have fan-out.
The main issue was unicast was: who gets it?  Or, to put it
another way, Damn, it went to the wrong program.

I was surprised to discover I liked fan-out, especially when
debugging new rules.

Of course, you could take a tip from plumbing's relatives in
other systems and provide a UI for selecting where it goes,
but 99% of plumbing's value is its automation.
