Reading from environment / flagfiles / command line is super popular
these days, whether it be because Google did it that way and now
ex-Googlers are popularizing the pattern, or because of the 12-factor
application fad (which I admit, has quite a few merits).

This is why developers are frequently using systemd with EnvironmentFile
these days.

Of course, this breaks reload... but almost nobody is writing reload
code in their daemons these days anymore.
