Which matters in the case is what Linux Torwalds and other kernel
developpers think of the quality of dbus, and the opinion of Torwalds is
very bad, and for this reason he still rejects the main argument in
favour of kdbus, which is performance.
You will certainly agree that, if kdbus is provided in the kernel,
there is nothing we can do against it, but nobody forces us to use it,
nor even to enable it when compiling the kernel.
There has been a long thread of discussion on this subject on
dyne.org. Maybe you could look at the archives.
Thanks.
