[issue5906] Risk of confusion in multiprocessing module - daemonic processes

[Vaibhav Mallya]

Vaibhav Mallya <mallyvai at umich.edu> added the comment:

I understand pakal's line of reasoning. The term 'daemon' in the general
Unix sense has a specific meaning that is at odds with the
multiprocessing module's usage of 'daemon'. Clarification would be
useful, I feel, especially if an outright rename of that part of the API
is out of the question.
