I think this is how Emacs in general should work.
There should be no separate "emacsclient", only "emacs".
The first call to "emacs" would start a server by default.
Subsequent calls to "emacs" would always connect to the running Emacs,
unless you used "emacs --new-instance" or somesuch.
This is how eg Firefox works.

I don't think this is a new suggestion, eg bug#7741 explains it all.
But there's no sign of it happening.
