Comment (by anonymous):

 A sane daemon should not detatch from the controlling terminal, since you
 lose the control over it, which breaks reliable service supervision, like
 it's done by daemontools or runit. This also true for service designs in
 other major operating systems, e.g. for Solaris[0], MacOS X[1] and the
 like.

 Just my 2 cent. :-)
