Like I said before there is many projects using AF_UNIX as IPC
transport, the documentation actually induces people to use for this
purpose, and many would benefit from being able to do multicast.

You can't have it both ways.

If it's useful for many applications, then many applications would
benefit from a userland library that solved the problem using
existing facilities such as IP multicast.

If it's only useful for dbus that that absoltely means we should
not add thousands of lines of code to the kernel specifically for
that application.

Instead we should add many times that into dbus-daemon and do IP
multicast, am I missing something?

So either way, kernel changes are not justified.

I respect your opinion, but I don't agree with it, you are pushing
userspace to a much more complex solution.

At this point it would probably better to just use shared memory and
forget about any security, eavesdrop all the way.
