[Opendnssec-user] Deprecating pid-files?

Hi Ondrej,

So... what you are saying to retain PID-files is that there are OS variants
that can make good use of PID files, and that anything else would make
you resort to non-standard init.d structures?

Guys, that sounds like a reason to retain PIDfile to me.  And just add
the communications channel as well.
