Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek, systemd developer, is asking for tmux to change to incorporate some systemd-specific Desktop Bus code. Nicholas Marriott, tmux developer, replies that this should go in the GNU libc daemon() function for everyone whose programs do this to benefit, repeating what he said 5 years ago.

Following your model, which should Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek be forking? tmux? Or GNU libc?
