I like the simplification, both in SLOC and in exit logic (as seen in
patches 3-7).

One nit-picky observation here, that is unrelated to this patch: reading
through, it may not be so obvious that 'start' is really a 'run' or
'execute', (linguistically, to me 'start' implies a kick-off rather than
ongoing execution).
Just some bike-shedding again, though, and not even for this patch. So
nothing to do here :)
