Yes, commons-daemon is always required.
If you do not specify Daemon interface, it's still created internally and calls your methods.
I don't see anything that says that its not required. It's your presumption, so perhaps
a statement that its always needed would be more clear.
You are welcome to write something and if it make sense, I'll commit it.
