Perhaps these developers should rethink the design and protocols of their apps - or pay the price for a stupid design which relies on heavy IPC traffic (and usually - sooner or later - heavy network traffic). Or - at least - deliver a (technical!) proof why this isn't feasible.
The case of "patching the kernel to lie about the kernel's command line" just because some ill-designed user-space daemon misused it" was bad enough and the above smells quite similarly.
Kind regards, Bernd -- "I dislike type abstraction if it has no real reason. And saving on typing is not a good reason - if your typing speed is the main issue when you're coding, you're doing something seriously wrong." - Linus Torvalds
