In the light of

        * kdbus support is no longer compile-time optional. It is now
          always built-in. However, it can still be disabled at
          runtime using the kdbus=0 kernel command line setting, and
          that setting may be changed to default to off, by specifying
          --disable-kdbus at build-time. Note though that the kernel
          command line setting has no effect if the kdbus.ko kernel
          module is not installed, in which case kdbus is (obviously)
          also disabled. We encourage all downstream distributions to
          begin testing kdbus by adding it to the kernel images in the
          development distributions, and leaving kdbus support in
          systemd enabled.

I sure hope that kernel developers still review kdbus carefully and do not
give in to any downstream pressure by distros.

I hope that kdbus will mostly be in userspace and only the parts that
absolutely need to be in kernel to speed up things will be put into the
kernel.
