I think I don't really understand what you mean... I won't use dvioutput 
neither, as I don't use dvi output... but we're talking about people 
wanting a dvi output instead of the default pdf.

What do you mean processing a document in both modes?

Let's make usecases:

John doesn't care at all about dvi, pdf is fine for him. He won't use 
dvioutput, luatex will default to pdf mode, and his packages will adapt 
to pdf output.

Bill wants a dvi output, he has certainly very good reasons to want it. 
He uses dvioutput, luatex will be in dvi mode, and his packages will 
adapt to dvi output.

What's wrong with it?
