That is right. I'd like to see D-Bus phased out entirely and replaced with 9P.

"Pony"

Except that an (admittedly application specific) 9P implementation is already in the kernel, it works very well, and is incredibly useful for the simplicity that it is.

An article comparing both would be highly interesting.

Good luck selling that idea to everyone who's using DBus now. We're looking forward to your libdbus clone that maps everything to 9P!

Maybe 9P failed to learn the WebDAV lesson? If you design a protocol that can be used for everything, nobody will use it.
