yes now i remember that discussion, but i don't think it was ever
proved that starting daemons in / did any good since that is
never/rarely the problem with remounting it readonly.  its replacing
files/libraries which are in use by other processes, even
non-dameons.  

for example when you upgrade libc every bash process must be killed
before remounting of /usr is possible since it mmaps some locale file
(IME anyway).
