Why adding an obscure set of IPC mechanism in network tree, and not
using (maybe extending) traditional IPC (Messages queues, semaphores,
Shared memory, pipes, futexes, ...).
I actually don't understand why there is so much resistence to using a
real bonafide on-the-wire protocol, and that way if you ever wanted to
connect dbus instances on multiple machines or log dbus transactions
remotely for debugging, you could just do it.
