Hmm, I can see the usecase for that, but I am not sure how we could
implement this nicely...

To implement this we'd have to store the starttime of each PID in the
database, and then order by that. And then we'd have to figure out the
most recent one, probably in a similar fashion as we already allow this
boot ids...

I have added this now to the TODO list, but don't hold your breath...
