Which in fact is one reason I think the installer should allow it. For the
installer to have the opportunity of warning about issues associated with
multiple DEs, it first has to allow that. The other ways of achieving the same
result don't give any warning. So, for example, if multiple DEs causes problems
with upgrades, simply disabling it in the installer doesn't solve the problem -
it just removes any chance for an early warning. It would actually make the
problem worse.
