Old haproxy processes accepting new connections after reload

Hey,

So I've read several questions regarding haproxy having old processes still running.
such as:
https://www.mail-archive.com/search?l=haproxy@formilux.org&q=subject:%22Re%3A+HAProxy+graceful+restart+old+process+not+going+away%22&o=newest&f=1

We are using haproxy version 1.5. According to the documentation a reload for the configration file using -sF options issues a -SIGUSR1 signal to the old processes . However only when I issue this signal explicitly the old processes gracefully exit.
Is sending this signal explicitly a bad practice ? Why isn't it happening automatically ?

Further the main issue at hand here is ,that the old processes continue to accept new connections .
Apart from sending the -SIGUSR1 signal , explicitly when the reload script executed is/are there any alternative solution(s) ?
