Comment (by jsiwek):

 > - can't this potentially generate a lot of reporter messages when there
 are a large number of writes going to the second one?

 Yes.

 > - what would you think about "auto-renaming": if we detect a writer/path
 combination to be already taken, we rename the path to something unique
 ("http-2") and then proceed as normal?

 Sounds like it could work well and fixes your above concern (just warn
 once when auto-renaming), are you going to try that or want me?
