And yes, well, of course there are platform-local ways of ipc, on windows<br>

That way we could get rid of the dbus-daemon process and use the platform IPC facilities. For each platform, a different "native IPC side" would be implemented: on Windows it could be COM, on Android something else, etc<br>
