Title: Anope will now fork even when not started from a tty, like init scripts.

It is useful for init systems or startup scripts, because it allows easily waiting until services connect to the uplink, without them forking it wouldn't be possible to tell if they finished initialization or not unless they would communicate directly with init systems like systemd.
