I would call excluding the X server a feature.  Sometimes desireable,
sometimes not.

There are a couple of situation where you want to do just that:

1. Remote X connection, even if we're just talking a local network.
2. Multi-CPU machines.

In either case, X is running truly is parallel with the program.
