 Jeremy keeps complaining because we don't daemonize. We've discussed this
 several times at great length, but it seems the fact that we don't is a
 real concern.

 One possibility is to add a section to the documentation explaining how to
 run as a daemon, for example:

 {{{
 $ nohup bind10 &> /dev/null &
 }}}

 Another possibility is for the rest of the BIND 10 team to hold me down
 and just implement a daemon mode while I can't stop them. Were this to
 happen, we should probably use the mechanism proposed in PEP 3143:

 http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3143/

 Which will likely become a part of standard Python soonish. (For now, we
 can just ship the python-daemon library with our code.)
