Or rather, and this is something bleeding edge Fedora folks can easily ignore, trade it for a dependency on kernel >= 3.x (for some specific x) with a certain feature enabled.
Up until recently my VPS server was running on kernel 2.6.16.

libdbus can be implemented on top of the kernel support. What says that you couldn't fall back to the current implementation if the kernel support is lacking?

But that's legacy code. Who would bother maintaining it (not just the extra code and ifdefs in libdbus. Also the dbusd)?
I managed to keep using that old a kernel version by ignoring the minimally-required kernel image version required by Debian. I ignored it as it was generally a requirement of udev and I did not need udev on that server.
