not at all. It's just that patches on the list take more and more

And when the author himself suggests that the patch is not for
inclusion, it wastes time. However, I agree that Alexey announced
it as [RFC] and not [PATCH],
Such things should be tagged as [OT] then, they are not worth
enough to be named [RFC].
Just thinking about this a bit more, this does have some practical
value. This would allow a process to acquire a "PID handle", such
that it could later reliably send a signal to this process without
worrying about any of the traditional PID reuse issues. This would
also solve some of the problems of the process checkpointing people.
