Another use case, as I outlined in the Gentoo Forums post, is to handle
orphans of badly written programs. I remember seeing someone mentioning
certain GNOME programs behaving this way, which seems to be a reason
systemd began to kill nohup'ed processes. The only program I have
witnessed to behave this way is cjdroute, the service program of cjdns,
which is part of why I dislike the current implementation of the latter
(as I mentioned in the UP2020 document).
