No. I agree with you that it would be nice to make it easier to create robust
multi-user setups, but the way to do that is not to provide an option to bypass
the security check. The check is here because it's currently not possible to
make multiple users share a wineprefix reliably; playing with permissions is
certainly not enough, sooner or later you'll get a corrupted registry.

What needs to be done is to fix the code so that the multiple servers case is
detected and handled correctly. Once this is done the check can be removed.
