My opinion (and not more) after reading the discussion. If we want to support systems without SOCK_SEQPACKET (and I guess we do) then we need to implement the fallback for SOCK_DGRAM. So, I don't think we should implement a path for SOCK_SEQPACKET at all (for systems where it is available). Furthermore, if SOCK_DGRAM is more effective than SOCK_SEQPACKET (I guess Kimmo and Simon believes that it is) than it is better to use SOCK_DGRAM with the fallback everywhere. Regarding to Anders's comment: I don't think it is a really serious problem that we have a quirk for platforms that implement CoreIPC with sightly different technique than what is used on Mac and Windows (and Chromium).
