Running multiple 'cron -n' processes

Hello,
I have a question regarding the behaviour of multiple 'cron -n'
processes. It seems that there is a mechanism that prevents running
multiple cron daemons simultaneously (acquire_daemonlock() function
that locks pidfile when the cron is started). However, this doesn't
apply to 'cron -n' command and therefore you can run multiple 'cron
- -n' processes.
Looking into the code it looks as an intended behaviour but I would
like to be sure.
Can you please confirm that being able to run multiple 'cron -n'
processes is not a bug?
Thank you in advance.
