Sockets will definitely be appreciated! It leaves some corner cases I can imagine, but it's definitely a step in the right direction.

ie: admin interface disabled, I can't reload to bring it back... because that depends on it.

With sockets we gain a permission model; one simply being in the 'localhost' scope can't do funny/scary things - either a user or another service on the system.

Thank you for the discussion, I'll give it a read - have a meeting then I can finally use my computer to 'catch up'
