These inode numbers are (at least on 64bit archs, i.e. anything modern) unique during the entire runtime of a system. And that's fantastic: there's finally a way how you can race-freely reference a process, with the ability to pass it around over any form of IPC, without risking that it suddenly starts to refer to some unintentended other process.
