Good idea.

(But I don't like the idea of multiple inputs to one output at all,
because the outputs need some resistance for protection and stability,
and the inputs should have no very high resistance, because the input
summing amp needs extremely high impedance in this case. This would
mean quite a load for the output and some voltage drop, which is
undesirable e.g. in the case of frequency control voltage. I'd prefer
low offset voltage buffers, with one input und , say, four outputs,
each with it's own protection circuit.)
