Well, from your other responses it sounded like you are including
code/data structure/functionality only when they are used. So, I wasn't

Besides, if this is needed only for a specific controller, shouldn't the
controller worry about maintaining it ?

IMO, fork_cb/exec_cb doesn't convey the real meaning of the usage.
