Very well. Let me try putting it like this, then:
Assuming we don't get such a case, and a chance to fix it, before 8.1
(while still hoping we will get it fixed properly, we can't be sure, can
we? If we were, it'd be fixed already). In this case, will you consider
such a kludgy solution as a temporary fix to resolve a problem that a
lot of users are having? And then plan to have it removed once sending
SIGTERM directly to a backend can be considered safe?
