True, the startup process can live for a short while concurrently with bgwriter, walwriter and autovacuum launcher, before it exits.

Maybe the postmaster should wait for startup process exit before
deciding to open for business, instead of just a signal.

Not a bad idea. Although, there's nothing wrong with the current way either. The startup process does a proc_exit(0) right after sending the signal ATM, so there's no real work left at that point.
