That was the consensus of some, awhile back, but I do not think anyone is singing that song anymore. Many DBUS-using apps are able to survive a system bus restart. Certainly, at a minimum, applications should be reworked to not crash. HAL has a very similar approach to Timo's patch, which makes good precedent. > PS - I'm not 100% against it, but wanted to figure this out in the > context of previous DBUS restart discussions on other lists, like HAL > for example. I think we can separate "should never restart the system bus" from "foo should be able to survive a system bus restart." The former is good policy, the latter is good programming. We can have both.
