Subject: Re: [RFC][PATCH] Notify init when processes are reparented to it

I'm highly skeptical that this is a desireable feature at all, and
certainly I find the abuse of siginfo_t.si_status here extremely
questionable.  I think we need a clear explanation of what problems
the feature is intended to address.


Thanks,
Roland
