But he also proposed automatic generation of priorities (to relieve the 
pain of guessing the proper magic numbers from developers). Configurable 
daemon supervising is IMHO a good thing on its own.

I've heard) completely new look at running all kinds of processes (it 
includes some kind of cron and init replacement).
