Comment(by mstone):

 Basically, I don't [yet] know how to let activities launch other
 activities safely; therefore, I desire to prevent them from doing so;
 (noting, however, that they're free to run whatever child processes they
 please.)

 If you can help me figure out how to make it safe (i.e. so that it can't
 be used to realize the privacy threats recognized in Bitfrost) then I'd
 love to support it.
