Clearly, it *is* palatable, given that a few people have been adding the 
systemd mechanism to their programs for several years, now.   
Pierre-Yves Ritschard's code and Cameron Norman's code come straight out 
of actual service programs.


Serge E. Hallyn:

No, M. Bercot is not.  Quite the opposite, in fact.  The s6 readiness 
mechanism demands *neither* pidfiles *nor* standard output.  It's *any* 
file descriptor (as defined by the service), and *just a linefeed* 
followed by closing the descriptor.

I'm nodding at almost everything M. Bercot is saying here, by the way.
