Locking on platform-specific stuff like dbus, you effectively lose one
of the main Vim advantages: its multiplatformness.
Designing some sort of universal IPC mechanisms would be quite challenging task.

Vim is single-threaded application. If you want to implement proper
IPC, for instance, Vim waiting on some event, you will need to rewrite
much of its core I'm afraid.
