My comment was a bit of a raising flag for brain food.
I don't think anyone would manage to get rid of dbus unless there is a
better alternative - and so far we have not seen one. But this is my
personal opinion. This mostly affects the desktop side, but as shown in
bluetooth there are a lot of application utilizing dbus already.
