Then I'm surprised you are arguing.

Yes, libraries will need to advertise more than one feature.  And no,
doing that ad-hoc is not the best solution.  Nothing prevents us from
designing a better one, since we don't yet have any history to be
compatible to.  I don't see why we would need to give up and stop
short of designing a more flexible solution before the ad-hockery
dictates its solution.
