Subject: Re: [RFC][PATCH] Disable CLONE_PARENT for init

Yeah, that's fine.  Since Oleg's pointed out that there is indeed no way to
avoid the leak in some global-init uses, it is fine to have a comment that
says that global init problems are part of the reason to outlaw this usage.
I just objected to a change that was really for container init but said it
was only to fix something different.

Thanks,
Roland
