does it count to have multiple independent privsep processes that
exchange binaries imsgs instead of using text streams? relayd has
parent, hce, pfe, relay, and ca. ... ;-)
heh heh, no I believe the context is those that have any element that is
human facing (tools), atleast wherever performance is generally
adequate.
Out of interest I guess relayds ssl and nginx libressl privsep is
very similar?
Systemd logging for example and *conf would be ones that should have
taken this universal interface advise as the rare few who need binary
log performance can easily convert the logs or process them once and log
sizes are not an issue on modern hdd but with binary logs you add
difficulties for processing tool compatibility, sappend, recovery
issues from partially wiped or failing drives even more so on ext4 etc..
