When was the last time dbus crashed on you? |

|
| 13 |
And what would you consider "reliable" enough for "core services"? dbus |
| 14 |
has proven itself over _many_ years to handle all of the issues that |
| 15 |
something like this requires very well. It's a non-trivial thing to |
| 16 |
implement and the authors of it have done a very good job, after |
| 17 |
learning how to do it from other failed attempts at the same thing. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
And what are you going to do when dbus moves into the kernel itself |
| 20 |
(hint, it will be there soon)? How are you going to not use it then? |
