That was discussed a while ago, IIRC. Why wasn't it installed?

Do you mean, I suppose, that Emacs starts but it is not responsive
because it is running no server?

How do you propose to fix it? We can make --daemon to do the
equivalent of "(progn (server-force-delete) (server-start))", or exit
with an error if there's a name-matching server. Other ideas?
