Just noticed that this lives under bus1 github organization; does that imply that eventually it will be using bus1?

Btw, whats happening at bus1, haven't heard about it lately?

That is something we intend to explore. The idea would be to let bus1 be used under the hood by dbus libraries to do peer-to-peer communication where possible (circumventing the broker) but still stay compatible to the D-Bus semantics.

We spent half a year working on dbus-broker ;)


When kdbus was first proposed for merging, Linus basically said something like "dbus is way more inefficient than just kernel api limitations would require, fix that first before proposing a new kernel feature". So that seems to be what they're looking into now.
