Is that likely?  The use case for multiple vnc server instances is
multiple displays, which is not a problem for spice because it has
better multihead support.  Also spice-server library doesn't support
multiple instances today, are there plans to actually change that?

But, yes, if we want multiple instances some day this is probably a bad
idea ...
