Yes, but QPA is a plugin based system already anyway.

We've seen the same need with PPS on QNX. The system's main IPC system just 
needs to be available to code in QtCore if the system's integration "API" is 
based on IPC.

The alternative to platform plugins is to put all those IPC basics into QtCore 
itself, like what was done for PPS. I.e. moving parts of QtDBus into QtCore.

Cheers,
Kevin
