I consider dbus still not reliable for core services.
When was the last time dbus crashed on you? And what would you consider "reliable" enough for "core services"? dbus has proven itself over _many_ years to handle all of the issues that something like this requires very well. It's a non-trivial thing to implement and the authors of it have done a very good job, after learning how to do it from other failed attempts at the same thing. And what are you going to do when dbus moves into the kernel itself (hint, it will be there soon)? How are you going to not use it then? greg k-h
