I think the time since then has shown that essentially the cat is out of
the bag.  I didn't really like the idea of devices outside QEMU---and I
still don't---but if something like "VFIO over AF_UNIX" turns out to be
the cleanest way to implement multi-process QEMU device models, I am not
going to pull an RMS and block that from happening.  Assuming I could
even do so!
