a lot of people over the years have indicated a liking of it in a 
general way but no-one
has had anything that needed it.  Launchd may be one such user but 
efforts to
make that available stalled at the same time.
The anti-bloat party seem to have successfully  taken the momentum out 
of any moves
to import it on the "if we needed it, we'd have it" argument.
