That does not follow. The mutually-exclusive choices you are presenting
are 1) no current support for block allocations, 2) single node
allocations and you're missing 3) future support for block allocations.
If (1) is false (2) is not the only alternative.

Remember, I said "if not", in other words, if Coaster does not support
this today, then (2) is your only alternative, unless you want to waste
many resources over time. Future support, obviously means that (2) will
not be the only alternative :)<br>
