Let's face it, we're not going to _ever_ checkpoint any kind of general
case process. Just TCP makes that fundamentally impossible in the general
case, and there are lots and lots of other cases too (just something as
totally _trivial_ as all the files in the filesystem that don't get rolled
back).
What do you mean here? Unlinked files?
Or modified files, or anything else. "External state" is a pretty damn
wide net. It's not just TCP sequence numbers and another machine.
