I hate that too.

I typically have a "master emacs" instance running all the time.
Sometimes I start another instance (e.g. in a terminal window)
just to make some small change to a config file - and blammo - 
the server is no longer associated with the master emacs.

But is this the right time to change this (it's been like that for
ages).
