"First of all, if it's not tested it shouldn't be committed."

This tells me you actually went and read the original commit message:

http://git.enlightenment.org/core/efl.git/commit/?id=8ecd30d578ebac46bbdf5f6d5c0b7cad1187f84f
"Add a new API to edbus to let it create an EDbus session from an 
existing DBus connection. This is needed by the python bindings, was 
done the same way in edbus1, so it should fit here also
NOTE: I did not test this yet, and I'm not into the edbus code, so I 
please who know the code to give a look. thanks
NOTE2: I don't think this need Changelog and stuff as we are probably 
the only users of this function, let me know if i'm wrong"

and most likely saw the code comment:

  * @note this is a low-level function, it is meant to be used by language
  * bindings, don't use unless you know what are you doing!

So you very well knew it was being used by the python bindings.

With the aforementioned knowledge the best option would have been 
notifying us. You can use strong language and bash us over the head with 
virtual trout if you like but don't go and pull the rug from under other 
peoples work when you have other options available. I don't mind if the 
breakage happens by incident. But if something is clearly mentioned as 
being used by other EFL projects then you should either fix those other 
things yourself or notify the people working on them.

Yes I completely understand and you are right that it was bad, which I 
am not arguing against. We were trying to be lazy and replicate e_dbus 
(v1) bindings functionality, where the actual heavy lifting is done by 
python-dbus. It was working but obviously edbus did not like having 
foreign objects and rightfully complained with error messages.

We'll come up with a better solution and next time we'll ask more people 
for review if new C API is to be added.
