I think it would be reasonable to state that the raise(SIGSTOP) integration should be done with a new command line option OR a new environment variable; ie that the daemon should not be changed to raise(SIGSTOP) by default. I don't know whether it's valuable to mention this explicitly. If there is any significant risk that anyone might patch a daemon to SIGSTOP by default then I would want to put something in the resolution or in policy to suggest not to do that!
