I thought I was obvious that I was addressing the Aleix's concern about portability of frameworks requiring D-Bus, but I must have failed at that. I'll try to make it more clear: a framework that can be built on a platform, run on that platform and provide its functionality on that platform can be considered supported on that platform. And, additionally, the whole point of having different frameworks is the ability to choose which ones to use, which at least for me implied not having to use a framework that does not provide any features an application needs.
