For what it's worth, the company I work for (and a number of other
companies) currently use an out-of-tree datagram multicast messaging
protocol family based on AF_UNIX.
If AF_BUS were to be accepted, it would be essentially trivial for us to
port our existing userspace messaging library to use it instead of our
current protocol family, and we would almost certainly do so.
I'd love to see AF_BUS go in.
