I suppose multihead across multiple different graphics cards doesn't
fall under the common use case? :)
I don't think that's supported by libXrandr yet, is it?

I would imagine some power users wanting to use multiple monitors by one
being from an integrated intel graphics card on a desktop and the other
from an add-on card that is of different brand. As those usually come
with two outputs, lets say they have room for three monitors on the
desk.

That is to say that some might still find one of the *resolution
packages useful and removing both at this point doesn't sound like a
good idea as proposed in response to the removal of one of them.
