I've researched more on the topic, and it appears what I had on mind is
rather systemd's socket *notification* (what they call 'sdNotify')

probably wouldn't help here, rather it seems it'd be a bad idea, as
realized elsewhere [0].

All that to say that I shall be reviewing your patches shortly :-).
Thank you,
