This is essentially what I was advocating a while back for other
event-oriented frameworks like Node and Twisted. Both support socket
activation these days, but they have no reliable mechanism for
distributing the load across multiple processes.

So, a big +1 to generic support for pools of socket-activated
processes that still run accept() on their own.
