It seems to me that it would be better to support it in a more generic way rather than trying to implement only a subset of it with a single optional node. I would expect basically that it would just need a mechanism to ignore connection failures on optional branches, and some to skip already connected branches, for when an optional connection path has made a direct connection unnecessary.
