Certainly not.

Wrong. You see whichever sent the last event. If the system is working
normaly you see the proc text, if it panic'd, you'll see a FLT
message. Besides, CONFIG_CHASSIS_LCD_LED drives the heartbeat, network
and disk symbols on the lcd as you know, so because there's a
"conflict" on the upper part of the lcd doesn't mean that you want to
make those mutually exclusive anyway.

I've coded this that way on purpose, and the wiki and config help are
(imho) explicit enough as to what will happen when you select both.
Selecting both does have a purpose.
