To me, the issue is not so much a single user editing multiple files, butrather the situation when you have a shared machine with multiple(simultaneous) users, as is frequently the case in a lab environment. With a fixed port, remote and local users cannot both be running IDLE. If this patchaddresses that, then I think it should be given high priority.
That sounds like a good reason for using this patch, applying it because you can then open multiple files using 'Edit with IDLE' is IMHO not because it fixes the wrong issue.
If added a comment to patch #1201569 (which isn't Tal's patch but something simular), it seems that patch was rejected for now because of vague socket-rebinding problems on Windows, which may be caused by odd behaviour of windows (see my comment on the patch for more information)
