I think he's been working on having the "distribute" pool scale up
on-demand, which would involve systemd getting events on new
connections coming into the listener socket. More specifically, I
think he intends to, as each new connection comes in, check if we've
maxed out the number of processes. If not, spin another one up.
Presumably, we'd drop the listener once the max-size pool is running.
