It is not the responsibility of the operating system to protect its

a bright and wise idea.
Isn't this the whole goal of random PIDs, to put a defense at OS level
protecting software against themselves when they make wrong assumption
regarding the PID and use it for wrong purposes?
One can protect against programmers assuming sequential allocation and one can
protect against programmers assuming random allocation, but not both.
