technically the correct structure for RFC compiance is

        The daemon MUST NOT come down until all of its children
        have finished and exited.

'must not' is more declarative than 'should' as to 'responsibility.

If the coder breeds children - they must be reaped.

SysAdmins are Allowed to Fire Volley's of Shot, and shell,
at coders who fail on this point....
