Is there any reason to daemonize itself?

If not: shoud we disallow it and drop the --pidfile switch?

If yes: should we add a --daemonize switch then to control whenever the process daemonizes itself?

Otherwise the conventions look good to me.

Let's drop the daemonize/pidfile part from the initial spec. We can later add it back if we have a good rationale. thanks
