No, it would stop you from having more than one theme loaded at the  
same time, which is different to having more than one theme enabled.

Ie: you don't have the templates / theme functions for both your  
admin theme and your normal theme loaded all the time, you only load  
the one you are using.

The only time multiple themes are actually being loaded, is because  
of the _features hook and the _regions hook, which i think should  
both be handled by external config files.
