The idea has been considered, but there are no concrete plans as of yet. It is a question of available resources rather than whether or not we think it should be there.

You can run it in either fashion. In daemon mode, the daemon is run as root and forks off a new JVM every time a user connects. Otherwise, the user ends up launching their own server instance themselves (whether through REXEC, or by connecting to a running server). Using the REXEC method is not recommended due to the inherent insecurity of it.

Is this something on the list of things to be implemented? This seems
like a significant limitation in the context of a smooth remote
development experience. It essentially forces the user to login on the
command line to checkin/out their code to keep it in sync with other
systems.

I am confused as to how the RDT server is intended to run. Do you
intend it to be run as root and it forks off a new JVM instance when
each user logs in or does each user need to launch their own copy of
the server?
