That's basically ridiculous.

You're ignoring the idea that export may involve other JACK clients. It may
involve, for example, a JACK client functioning as a software synthesizer,
or a JACK client function as an "outboard" FX processor. Disconnecting from
JACK would be completely wrong in such cases, and special casing the
examples where we *could* disconnect from JACK is an absurd amount of extra
work given that we are using JACK's ability to drive the process cycle AND
share data (even within Ardour itself.
