IMO that highly depend on the complexity and resource constrains of the 
daemon. For a big resource eating daemon system like udev, we absolutly 
agree.

On the other hand, a minimal watcher / reader process (e.g. netlink 
reader) daemon sitting in the back, doesn't hurt you much. The bigger 
event handling code, on the opposite, shall go to an on-demand process, 
only running when it's operation is required.
