The code is trying to signal every child that exists. By that logic we
should have a lot more conditionals to try to avoid signaling process
that "shouldn't" exist in the current PM state --- eg, the following
line where the AV launcher is signaled. I don't think it's going to
be an improvement in either readability or robustness.
