The problem with the approach of informing the init daemon about the
pid is that daemon authors have historically proven themselves
incapable of discovering it, I've seen very few examples that actually
generate a pid file correctly (including without race conditions)

That's not to say that finding them out isn't without it's problems
either, though I believe we have a solution now.
