True - sorry. I kinda hijacked your thread. I had fork_connector associated in my mind with process accounting, so made the leap from analyzing the fork_connector mechanism on its own merit, to analyzing whether it was useful for collecting the new process accounting information that was needed from forks.
In my own defense, I don't see where the motivations for fork_connector are spelled out in the presentation to this patch, and it seems that the other potential uses of it are less well explored at this point.
So I think my leap was a small one ;).
