Actually, if we began talk about splitting into multiple daemons because
of multiple calculations and protocol bugs causing entire process crash
- - better to discuss splitting based not on address family but protocol
or protocol-instance-base.

Every architecture has its own pros and cons. Direct function calls for
any interested protocol is faster than doing syscalls for every unix
socket reads/writes and consumes less CPU resources.
Large route updates/reads are addressed in bird by splitting them into
smaller parts permitting other protocols doing their IO

Anyway, I'm talking about improving parts in _current_ architecture, not
about changing architecture (protocols exchange model) at all.
