Do you have concrete data about it? AFAIK KDE maintains it and they even
pushed for the new "systray" replacement using DBus instead of X11 messages
because of that. This looks like FUD on your side.

Again, another FUD. DBus is simple, very simple. It doesn't even depend on
EFL, it's even lighter on dependencies. It's broadly used, packaged and
supported. It's not related to X11, it's not tied to Glib, it's not stuck
with Linux.

People like to hate dbus without actual technical background to do so and
that makes me sad. Being part of systemd project, which also happen to use
DBus, but at a much lower level component, I also read people complaining
about it without proper knowledge of their reasons... it's a bad thing.

Let's keep the NIH syndrome out of EFL, we managed to do well for a while,
but things are changing recently... what we'll end like? Another GNOME? :-D
