Yes. Probably the right way forward is to make it a non-issue by teaching users how to control the lifetime of the "daemon" process, and wean them off relying on "it is auto-spawned if you forgot to start", as that convenience of auto-spawning is associated with "...but how it is auto-shutdown really depends on many things in your specific environment", which is the issue.
