Yep, that was reason for change.

Well, usually it do not break as you share one helper, so only
constants can be redefined, but it is just warning. Problem in yast2 is
that it have multiple locations which contain tests, so there can be
bigger collision as even helpers are not shared.

you are right. I remember it wrongly as there was some handling in
past, but I removed it and it actually do not fix SCR instance number -
https://github.com/yast/yast-core/commit/26d7ae4fbc0d68e5fe38d44bddfa9c7bc263bc3d#diff-980808f9bd5a55b4f32a7f730f54877bL311

What we can do is:
1) fix usage
2) behave smarter and select any remaining SCR instance when default is
closed as usual use case is one system SCR and one additional ( /mnt
one in installation or relative in case of tests ).

What do you think?
