In that particular case, ices is driven by a GUI. It only uses one 
instance. I just think that the option to terminate on disconnect is 
valuable. Many common cases will only have one instance feeding one mount. 
In that scenario, it makes sense to terminate ices.

Terminating raises SIGCHLD, which the app reacts on, giving visual feedback 
and optionally attempting to restart.
