That would break things that require a persistent connection to other
daemons. I have been told that this, for example, breaks libnss-ldap.

Debian used to patch exim to close open FDs at startup, but had to
disable the patch again in mid-2005 when breakage caused by the patch
surfaced. See http://bugs.debian.org/299051.
