Good question. I don't know what's using POSIX MQs.
POSIX message queues are a general mechanism, every program can use
them. They are much faster than the SysV message queues.
The filesystem is mainly used to clean up. Message queues can have
names and they stay around, unless removed, if the processes using them
are going away. Not everybody should have permission to do everything
on the filesystem but message queues have owners and those owners must
be able to remove them.
