I think most forms of IPC should be addons, if only because they have inherent unportability. Stuff like sockets and pipes should be in obviously, signals maybe (they have lots of portability issues, but they may be too often used to just drop), but things like SysV IPC really shouldn't. Anything more high level should definitely not go in the core.
