Hmm, I read on Devuan mailing list, that Qt engineers work on doing dbus
directly inside Qt instead of using the existing libdbus. I did not verify
this claim yet. But considering what I read here about performance issues
with libdbus I think it would make quite some sense.

Also I wonder who will use sdbus stuff from systemd / libsystemd – I sure
hope sdbus will work without systemd running as PID 1, but I am not clear on
this either – from the desktop environment people beside xdg-app. I doubt
that Qt will depend on it, being available for more than the Linux platform.

And if GNOME wants to be portable to the BSD variants at least, they can´t
depend on it either.

So who will use non portable sdbus anyway – except specialized apps?

In case I missed this in the discussion so far, sorry, but from what I read
from the various threads I am really not clear on this.
