They shouldn't, and I wouldn't worry too much about this possibility. The protocol is private and undocumented, so there should be no third-party users. The location is hard-coded directly into the binaries and is likely only intended to be used by sysvinit binaries. systemd is an exception to this rule, and I would suspect the only one.
