So here is the practical question. Are these processes that only can send signals to their thread group allowed to call fork()? If fork is allowed and all pid lookups are restricted to their own thread group that wait, waitpid, and all of the rest of the wait family will never return the pids of their children, and zombies will accumulate. Aka the semantics are fundamentally broken. If fork is not allowed pid namespaces already solve this problem.
