It's most certainly a hyperbole, but I think it's not too far fetched
to assume that the number of users who are installing multiple Linux
distributions in parallel on the same machine is rather negligible.
So, I'm not sure whether that's a usecase worth supporting given
the fact that there are also potential issues you can run into
when sharing a swap partition among multiple Linux distributions
on the same disk.
