I agree, too. If I remember correctly, there has been discussion in libc and/or kernel to be able to open files with random high-numbered file descriptors. When these mechanisms will be ready, a deamon will be unable to close all its file descriptors (unless it closes the whole range of fd (0--2^16 ?) or unless an application can get a list of its open fds).
