I personally think dbus is largely a wheel re-invented--not necessarily due to incompetence on its developers' parts, mind you, but more due to mission and scope creep over the past 12 years. If inter-process communication could be done all over again from scratch, knowing what we use dbus for the

Hello Emiliano, I like the Stylized Galaxy logo (the 2 blue boomerangs forming a flipped S letter). But there is no corresponding "logo with text/font" (on the next page). It would look strange if the main logo and the "logo with text/font" do not match. Kind regards, Anto

ConsoleKit2 was already packages by Max, but we don't need it in the Jessie cycle because the logind dependency was dropped from all packages. In the future - yes, I think we should invest in ConsoleKit2 and add a logind compatibility API to it, as most of logind's D-Bus methods have ConsoleKit2
