  Yes. That's why it's the "advanced" solution over just leaking a fd
for /dev/tty.

  The more I think about it, the more I see any use of nosetsid as
incorrect. Implementing SIGINT handling for s6-supervise requires
jumping through serious hoops if the nosetsid function still exists, and
the point of my current work on s6 is to get things simpler, not more
complex.
  I'm leaning more and more in the direction of removing nosetsid, which
is why I want to help people find other ways to accomplish what they're
currently doing with it.
