The preceding is what I've been trying to say for years, but didn't
have the language to say it nearly as succinctly. Thank you!

I'd like to add (because I'm not as succinct as you) that by covering
every corner case, you add complexification containing its own corner
cases, which you must solve with more complexification, ...

What I like about runit (and s6) is that its very architecture makes
solving problems almost trivial, so little complexification is
necessary.
