[racket] plot-frame does not wait at end of process

This maybe silly, but just in case:
What if Racket waits on all previously created eventspaces at the end of
each program (since I guess that's what it does on the main GUI eventspace
already)? Apart from backward compatibility problems, would it be a bad
idea?
