Some critical daemons that must not loose connections do that.
E.g. openssh doesn't close connections and in postinstall does a
configuration reload.
But openssh upstream allows for such scenarios.

(i work mostly on graphical install in the VM, thus directly on the
live-cd before anything is installed, so virt-manager is actually a
very nice way to flip between cds etc.)
