Yes, the source code is available. :)

Unfortunately, this is not what's actually needed: To generically detect 
a service which (is the parent of) a process which has a file which 
setup wants to update open.

That said, I'd certainly be open to patches which improve matters 
without solving the problem with full generality, but just observing 
they are "EASY" doesn't bring them into existence...

Anyhow, you can see the old discussion about how we might add this 
feature back when I added the current limited support for terminating 
processes which have needed files open. starting at [1].

Perhaps someone cleverer or more diligent than me will progress this...
