Personally, I don't have any use for them - I don't run any multiuser
*nix-like machines, much less any with users who would understand such
a system. However, I think a collection of examples showing the variety
of places that execline is useful outside of the obvious starting
daemons under a supervisor and other low level systems stuff would be a
good idea. s6 already has an examples/ subdirectory, so why not execline?
