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.
