If the point is to have Android style IPC, why not just pull a version of Binder into the mainline kernel?


Android's Binder was already merged into the Linux kernel (not just "staging", the real thing) since 3.19... half a year now.

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux....

But not many people are aware of that; since neither systemd nor Lennart Poettering have anything to do with it, the usual armchair architects did not paste their, uhm, well considered opinions about how much it sucks and is the end of the UNIX philosophy all over the comment threads when it happened.


As far As I can remember in mailling list one of kernel developer mention "android IPC (Its name I think is binder) is completely broken" , He didn't mention any evidence for his claim.
