As this isn't a kernel bug, and is not a race, and no one has even
bothered to see if any userspace processes are this stupid I don't even
think that qualifies as a CVE.

There is room for improvement in this area but I don't see how this
qualifies as a CVE.

So for doing better I recommend a little more vetting and paying
attention before assigning CVEs.
