Subject: kdbus vs Plumber?

Plumber is the IPC system from Plan 9 from Bell Labs?
It was written by Rob Pike.

How does kdbus compare against Plumber?
Could Plumber be used instead?
Is Plumber a better solution?

Plumber together with 9P is also network transparent.
Plumber is dead simple and much less complex than D-Bus, and it also
follows the Unix philosophy of "everything is a file".

Here is a *very* interesting post about Plumber, which asks to replace D-Bus.
