>iOS and Android already work that way.

And honestly, it's annoying as hell sometimes. You never know when the system's going to kill an app or not. Sometimes you think something might stay in the background for a bit then it doesn't, other times you think you've killed something and it's still running, or it's started itself again. Manual memory management options keep getting stripped back in subsequent android versions. I get the idea behind why android works like this, but the lack of control bothers me.
