Well, yes - changing the type of file descriptor used wouldn't fix the existing binaries, which is the whole problem (in the autofs protocol, the userspace program creates the pipe with pipe(2)).
I think it was mentioned somewhere in the thread that an SOCK_SEQPACKET socket would have been a better design, but hindsight is always an exact science.
