Because on flash-drives (Which are used in small devices and netbooks) you
don't want every single status update to be written to the filesystem.
And with minimal memory, I don't want to have a ram-disk gobbling up the
memory I have.
Why not simply using tmpfs ?
Or an specific synthetic filesystem ? 9P makes this really easy,
and network agnostic.
I'm kinda stunned that your arguments against D-Bus seems to boil down
to "just use 9p instead" given that plumber is a basic element of 9p and
does essentially the same job D-Bus does. So you're just swapping one
system-wide general-purpose IPC service out for another one?
