Okay, it was originally designed to support both D-Bus names:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-session/tree/gnome-session/gsm-shell.c?h=wip/cleanups#n602

Note that GSD's media keys plugin talks directly to GNOME Shell also:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-settings-daemon/tree/plugins/media-keys/gsd-media-keys-manager.c#n74

So we'll have the same problem when you want to implement global
keybindings support.
