This was originally meant to solve the problem of zombie processes in Docker containers (hence the name and issue nr.; moby/9098).
I’ve found this more succinct in other contexts than backgrounding tasks, writing pid files, and maintaining them through the process’s lifetime.
Also less prone to error.
