[systemd-devel] Does systemd-stdio-bridge handle dbus UNIX_FD passing somehow?

Afaik, the stdio bridge only supports a single dbus protocol stream and
nothing else.

Trying to pass file descriptors over the network might need magic in the
literal sense – just imagine emulating all the ioctls, socket operations,
etc. that a program may want to perform.

(I seem to remember a similar thread very recently on the dbus mailing
list?)
