What exactly does the new stage box mode do that's different than the previous implementation?

Also - any chance we will ever be able to use an RM mixer connect through AVB to a Studio Live console and actually have the channels that are using the RM mixer inputs route through the direct outs on the channel?  (The use case is recording isolated tracks easily from the Studio Live to a multitrack recorder without having to route any of the remote channels through a sub/aux/etc)

This is a more traditional Stagebox function, where the RM mixer simply serves as a remote I/O box for the Console at FOH.
