[Hamara-devel] kdbus issue and dbus issues in general

[shirish]

Hi all,
I am sure all have heard the news that kdbus is out of contention for 
kernel 4.1 as the new version wouldn't have been a drop-in replacement 
to dbus and the fact that Redhat people wrote it angered lot of people. 
'Pulseaudio' and 'Systemd' among others are pieces of software which 
broke lot of people's desktops/services and specifically in systemd 
forced lot of upstream developers to write .service unit files along 
with shell scripts. That anger percolated down to kdbus being rejected 
but as a third-party developer noted dbus needs a serious overhaul even 
though it's been 10 years in making.
