Well, single (shared) cleanerd approach indeed sounds better in the
long term.  The merit of the current pid and signal based (individual
cleaner) approach is its simplicity.  So, I think we should make the
shift to the single cleaner approach if things get unmanageable within
the current way.

The reason why we are not using the shared cleaner, is just we took
the present way when we first designed it.
