Sure, it should be in the default list. What is the drawback?

Looks reasonable.

Yes, I know that, but the thing is, from a given org-file, I would expect beamer export to make the slides and 'plain' latex export to create the handout. Maybe it is difficult to achieve but it feels like the most useable setup. Is it at all doable?
