Using IP as a localhost IPC is not uncommon (independent of software preferring AF_UNIX, if so available). Distro boot scripts have been running `ip addr add ::1/128 dev lo` all these years along.
And now we suddently need a DBUS program just to configure IP-based localhost IPC? I can see the flaw in that.
