Rails - May 2008 - mongrel_cluster / cleanup of pid files / --clean why not a default?

Hi Guys,

After trying to come up with a solution for a problem whose solution
existed all that while, i wish to ask why its not really a default in
the first place?

Often, mongrels on our server crash (we''re looking into those problems
by the way), but they dont clean up pids files on their way out. I can
understand why that would happen, no worries.

But on restart, restart/start commands usually complain that pid files
remain behind unless you provide the --clean option in which case it
has the best possible outcome, which is, checks if the process
mentioned in the pid is running and then does nothing or if the
process is not running, cleans the pid file. Wonderful! Why is this --
clean command not the default in mongrel_cluster and mongrel_rails?

Just wondering!

Cheers,
Aditya
