What will help the users find out what is wrong? Not giving them a warning?

PLEASE STOP using that tone, and PLEASE LOOK for "perhaps" in a dictionary.

Nonsense. The manual clearly says that you can run several servers
provided that you use different names, and before --daemon (and even
now, on Windows) there's no user command to set the server-name. If
anything, perhaps it should be a defcustom, or at the very least have
a docstring.

And the difference between
Could not start daemon
and
Could not start daemon "server"
(or, 'Could not start daemon named "server"')
makes the error messages difficult to understand/debug? How so?
