Great idea. Discuss the feasibility, rather than responding with
platitudes to people telling you it's infeasible. Show examples, show
how it would help. Take the inetd.conf example. Look at the current
user-space parser. Show how a new implementation might work. Use
pseudocode where necessary; this doesn't have to compile, it has to
convince people that there's something worthwhile in doing this.
