Before I wrote the patch, it was very inconvenient: in order to stop ceph services, I had to dig up the PIDs from ps output and then kill the processes manually, and I had to run ceph without my monitor that automatically restarted services that died (checking that the pid file was absent, or that the PID it named was not a running process). After I applied the patch in my local build, I could just forget about the earlier problems, and none surfaced because of the creation of the PID file.
