If we strive for 100% reuse of the communication API, yes. But that
should maybe not be the major goal to aim for. After all, realtime is
only a small part of all robotics software, so it should
not compromise the development of the non-realtime parts.

Of course, the software _patterns_ of communication should be the same,
whenever possible.
