I think I would be interested to have possibility for multiple positioners later, if VDR would only support it.
There doesn't seem to be such a big demand for multiple positioners, so I guess I'll take the easy way and assume there is only one.
For the sake of future-proofing, maybe the motor stuff can be added in such a way that it wouldn't take a total rewrite to support multi-motor setups in the event it's decided later on such support would be advantageous. Since motor support is finally arriving, we don't want to undershoot (although single motor setups certainly seem like the easy majority).
Another consideration is what setups will look like once VDR advances into server/client design. Will those setups be more likely to have multiple motors? I dunno, but it's worth asking imo.
