Serious side effect of #6299 (silencing salut so gabble can connect)

Thanks David, that's useful information.

Two premises (that need confirmation)
1 - It seems that running neither of two (salut and gabble) brings us some
serious troubles (for now, at least).
2 - The fall back mechanism (if gabble then shut salut down) seems an easy
fix.

So, my suggestion is that we just test the scenario where only " 2"  is
activated. It should be an easy test to make.

I agree that there is a chance of it not working, but It is worth testing
anyway, because:
1 - It is an " inexpensive" test
2 - there is a chance (maybe small, I agree) it might save us a lot of work.

It is a shame we don't know the timings involved. I even think to myself
(and also write it down ;-) if gabble can handle the rifle drill, anyway.

A good thing we will have an opportunity to test this soon.
