We certainly don't have to replicate it. Since the Net Kit docs now say
that socket tokens have no meaning, old apps won't care if they become
real fds. They won't know the difference. New apps will, and will get
appropriate new power. And people porting things from UNIX will kneel
before you and kiss your feet.
