Public bug reported:

I've had this conversation with various relevant parties and no had any
objections, so filing a bug to request the feature is added.

The Terminal app is currently limited in its functionality because it
gets suspended by application lifecycle.

This means you cannot run simple tools like tail or top, or indeed more
complex things like ssh without them getting reaped as part of lifecycle
when you switch away from the app. This makes the Terminal pretty much
useless for most use cases.

I'd like to get a lifecycle exception which would only be in effect if
"Developer mode" is switched on in system settings. This would enable
users to control the lifecycle exception, and we ensure long running
tasks aren't an issue by default because the switch is defaulted off.
