Yes, because we don't (and never did) allow working copies to contain items
from various repositories, I implemented the single-static-key mechanism as
a placeholder for more full support later. But unless something has changed
since I last looked, I think you exaggerate the rest -- the "committables"
are the final word on what gets committed.
