I want the old daemon running until the old one is installed. Then either the make or I can restart the daemon which results in a downtime of about two or three seconds. Stopping before the new version is installed guarantees a much longer outage. Yes, I also see some possible nasty races in a few cases, not most would be fine. -- R.
