Currently it only uses it in the Ack menu option.
I think as we introduce more and more long-running processes
(e.g. indexing all the pods, running your tests in the background etc)
we will need that.
I guess we can implement everything with fork but I think -
maybe because of my lack of experience in threads - that it will
be better to use them than to fork.
Id' be glad to hear your opinion too.
