Because if F1 is deleted emacs can no longer function as a daemon --
it cannot be detached.  It now has to be attached to some termminal.
One should assume that this is not what is required by the user who
started emacs in daemon mode.  I believe this is a defect in the
original implemenataion of daemonised emacs. --Madhu
