All i see is pattern of someone making claim of the code and backing it up, GKH just comes back with answer, people try to ask more, he comes back with "i already answered that, do you have any technical argument?". It has been on going pattern for the whole kdbus story. (Somewhat it reminds me of unrelated systemd conversations)
Other concern here is the fact that when it is accepted in to kernel it can't be changed as "never break userspace". So what this means is even maintainers have been admitting that dbus might be bad design, we would be stuck with this bad design in kernel. Also we would be stuck with current API for a really long time. If someone would have interested to replace dbus with godlike design and API, we would still be stuck with kdbus in kernel.
I don't believe Linus will be accepting this as it is when it has 0 reviews(normally it would have been booted to curb already) and 2 nacks. Also there are criticising from Al Viro, Luto and others.
PS. seems like Linus already answered to this.
