yes, i understand that.  and i know that bernstein's code is very
tight -- i've been using qmail and djbdns for many years, the
latter of which using daemontools.

it's not VM usage that puts me off -- it's strictly the emotional
baggage of doing (or just imagining :-) a ps and seeing all those
extra processes.  i just prefer the "single parent" visualization.
i don't think minit is technically superior to daemontools (or
runit) -- it's at most equal to them.

yes -- i meant to mention runit as well.  daemontools for those
that can't stand dan.  :-)
