Think of the connector as a layer on top of netlink that allows more
than a hard coded number of subsystems to use netlink.

There are no such limits in netlink, we have 'genetlink' which allows
an arbitrary number of subsystems to use netlink.

What connector provides over netlink/genetlink is something different
altogether.
