SubjectRe: anyone ever implemented a reparent(pid) syscall?

You'd still have a PID reuse race. Of course, you could also
cover this by checking the process' start time ...

But just designing the parent to be simple enough to be reliable
and/or generic enough that it doesn't even need to be upgraded
still looks like a more promising approach to me.
