No, the wrapper is only here to make HAProxy appears more like a
traditional daemon on the signal handling front. The old processes are
expected to stay to handle existing connections. Once you locate an old
process, check why it is here with lsof: lsof -n -p <PID>. You should
see that the process is not listening anymore and is only handling old
connections. If you kill the process, the connections will just break.
