Oh come now. We're not talking about some Enterprise XYZ RPC thingamabob that does everything through a distributed transaction manager. Local IPC-based RPC isn't all that slow. But that's beside the point. My point is that (a) there are alternatives, and (b) there is no way under the sun to make the Subversion libraries 100% crash-safe, so if you need to protect your plugin environment from crashes, splitting off the "unstable" code into a separate daemon process is a fairly standard method for doing that. -- Brane
