I also find these particular implementation details a poor choice. I
was going to recommend a different environment convention, but then I
saw the pre-existing convention was copied exactly.

If I was Daniel, I'd create something better. But I'm not sure
there's enough interest/need to warrant it. (Daemons currently
written to expect LISTEN_FDS could have a chain-loaded conversion
program.)

Not that I'm particularly knowledgeable here; s6's fdholding seems
able to fill this niche already.
