Victor and for that matter a lot of the other folk. Have a good look at the DIPC patches before you judge them. They are relatively clean, they are very easy to program with and they definitely work. In fact I got bored enough to rebuild X11 with DIPC XShm objects to prove the point.
Try it, use it, judge it...
The argument for distributed shared memory objects isnt 'should we/shouldnt we' its 'can you take the DIPC shared memory objects and push them efficiently into user space without kernel support. That might be possible, though I dont think you can with the other objects it provides.
