This shouldn't be hard to implement. However, do you see any
particular use cases for this?

One thing that comes to mind is that the users will then be able to
create/destroy stack depot instances when required. But I don't know
if any of the users need this: so far they all seem to require stack
depot throughout the whole lifetime of the system.

Thank you!
