It is optional.

Sys V init doesn't use IPC.  Sys V init, was static, generally
everything configured was started on boot, all hardware present, and
the control was by the admin doing start/stop/restart/reload/status,
plus changing the run-level.  You could view the signals, passing wait
statuses as limitted events.

Upstart, is trying to handle the dynamic hotplugging, and applet type
control stuff nicely; by being event driven.  The event messages by
whole slew of programs are on D-Bus.  But there's the "emit ... start"
type possibility to.

Why have the "init-bus" protocol, what is going to talk it?
