Yeah, and that's not good enough.

One thing I should have mentioned in my last email is that we currently
have Dashboard.TcpServer which subclasses Dashboard.Server.

There's no reason we couldn't have Dashboard.DbusServer as well.  And
also Dashboard.XRootWinPropServer, Dashboard.UnixSocketServer,
Dashboard.BlueToothServer, etc.

But this just isn't a priority for me personally and I sure wouldn't
accept a patch that *replaces* the existing TCP server.
