I'm not worried. Linus won't accept kdbus until he thinks it's in a position where it will be stable and easily supported for the foreseeable future. Watching kdbus get refactored a few times over this past year, I'd wager a guess that they're going to end up keeping as much of dbus in userspace

The problem is, kdbus isn't just an IPC, it's proprietary to systemd, and is the only software capable of utilizing it. Greg Hartman as the lead-takeover for Linus? Hell no. He'd give it to Lennart and Kay without batting an eye, and then shut out every developer save their own. Dare I say
