orphaned

The world is full of good Free software that is essentially orphaned, because the documentation is practically useless.

The kernel detects when a process is orphaned and reparents to PID 1, which just happens to be init.

I mean, you've made a few basic mistakes here, like nothing reaps orphaned processes, only zombie processes.

If those mainters move on to something, Docker 1.5 will be orphaned and then removed from the repo.

You probably meant that init reaps zombie processes - you can't reap an orphaned process, an orphaned process is still running and is reparented by the kernel to PID 1.

The gentoo portage repository of packages is clearly understaffed and orphaned packages are all too easy to run across.

It's a monopoly because Google has been granted the exclusive right (via a lawsuit) to digitize and distribute orphaned books.

When a pid-1 process spawns daemons, that in turn leave orphaned zombies - this pid-1 will get assigned with them.

Ran chkdsk from USB and it showed a ridiculous amount of orphaned files for ca.

Increasing the block size is likely to increase the rate of orphaned blocks, though there are proposals that might mitigate that risk.

This is one of the few problems that still could be counted as open problems in Bitcoin, called "Blockchain fork" or "Orphaned Blocks".

The approach I'm trying to take with the community I'm involved in is to keep the effort required spread out -- so for instance I manage mainline releases but somebody else deals with stable branches and point releases, and a third person does the "pick up otherwise orphaned patches from the mailing list and get them applied" work.
