Such a configuration is static: access is either allowed or denied.

With Cynara, one could (at least in theory) grant access temporarily
and/or after asking the user.

The problem for a hypothetical, patched dbus-daemon calling Cynara will
be to identify the session. Probably it will not have enough
understanding of the D-Bus interfaces that it is asked to protect to
provide a meaningful identifier.
