As the Varnish architecture shows, I'm fully in agreement with this.

I should also add that one of the reasons I don't like the control
mode packets is that they are complex.

I have no issues with handling the standard 48 byte fixed format,
no strings NTP timing packets in a root-process, but in todays
environment it would not be OK to design a daemon which handles
the crypto stuff or the control packets in a root-process, those
should go in a sandbox.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
