Do you reckon implementing this as an opt-in feature could have any advantages other than screenshoting not being broken with DWM?

The removal of managed pool could possibly be the trickiest part.

D3D9Ex is mainly beneficial for windowed applications, which is rare among D3D8 games, so I doubt it's worth it?

Maybe no device lost on Alt-Tab for some games which can't minimize?

Given the fact no one managed to list any benefits from d3d9ex (including myself), it's probably not worth the hassle ;)
