This articles focuses on initialization, while I am talking about the
entire lifetime of the process. A process crashing for any reason is
currently immediately restarted, which in a lot of cases causes tight
restart loops with multiple duplicate crash logs followed by the entire
program going down (which btw goes again everything I expect from a
server program). This proposition would give control on the process
restart mechanism to avoid this issue.

Ultimately the point is moot since the original proposition was for a
feature which is configurable, so developers would be free to ignore it
entirely.
