Hi, First, sorry for the thread breaking, I've just joined this list and I didn't get this mail.

The definition of stable and unstable in DBus isn't as hard and fast as you'd really like -- the 1.5.x cycle is very slow and mostly stable from a crashy point of view. I'd say there is a good rationale for having both 1.4.x (.20, so that also needs an upgrade) and 1.5.x in oe-core. The default should be 1.4 for obvious reasons (it's the stable release), and 1.5 should be there for people who need the improvements. In particular there has been a lot of work on performance, so anyone heavily using dbus (i.e. anything using Telepathy, which is where the improvements came from) should look at 1.5 because it will give a noticeable improvement on slower hardware.
