I don't see any reason why it should be impossible to run lightdm on
tty1 and tty2, gdm3 on a vnc session and yet another one on xvfb, all
in parallel (just as an example). Wouldn't you agree that this is a
config issue, i.e the job of the admin to decide? I can handle an
error message triggered by a second dm on tty1, but what chance do I
have, if systemctl doesn't work as documented anymore?
