No.  This is the kind of mistake where the code will seem to work just
fine and end up in a release before a user suddenly discovers that they
have two instances of the same daemon running and trashing their data.
If I remember correctly, the last time someone touched flopen(),
everything worked except 'service mountd reload' stopped working.

Yeah, but they don't.  And before you say MAINTAINERS, they don't read
or respect that either.  Believe me, I have years of experience cleaning
up after unapproved, unreviewed commits to code I maintain.  Conversely,
another committer once reverted a commit they had reviewed and approved
because they thought I hadn't committed it and hit 'y' blindly when
patch told them it was already applied.
