[erlang-questions] supervisor started from gen_server

[Dmitry Demeshchuk]

Sounds ridiculous. Supervisor should be started either by an
application as the root one, or by a higher-level supervisor. Most
likely, if you try starting it within gen_server, gen_fsm or whatever,
you'll end up with writing your own supervisor based on gen_server,
gen_fsm or whatever. Or you will have a failure point, which is as
bad.
