Ah, now I see what you mean.

Yes sure, init can't kill itself with or without these changes. But,
I think this is supposed behaviour which we do not want to change?


Oh. And I guess I misunderstood you before. From the previous email

I guess this is what you meant, and I fully agree.

When I said "I disagree with container-init is immune to suicide",
I wrongly thought that you suggest that load_binary()->kill(SIGKILL)
should have no effect. I have to apologize for confusion again.

I hope we finally understand each other ;)

Oleg.
