Well, "daemonless" is kind of marketing - there is still this daemon-per-container 'conmon' thing https://github.com/containers/conmon and I don't get why it is needed because 1) who actually needs to re-attach anyway? 2) container's streams are already properly handled by whatever supervisor (e.g. systemd). You can't disable conmon and I'm not sure if its usage is not hardcoded throughout the codebase.

I would very much like to use Podman as a finally proper container launcher in production (non-FAANG scale - at which you maybe start to need k8s), but having an unnecessary daemon moving part in thousands lines of C makes me frown so far.
