The plumbing layer as the new kernel

I really look at what is going on now as the natural extension of the original project Utopia goals. which is to say we have been on this road for a while now. Long enough that we've discard the first implementations to serve the goals and started to replace them with the next generation that better serve those goals.

Looking forward I expect to see a d-bus service implementation driven deeper down into the stack as something that is always expected to be available. I find the recent blogs from Moya about netlink-based d-bus concept...fascinating. Whether or not what he's been blogging about is the right implementation that gets adopted is an open question. But I think the pressure to drive a d-bus-like implementation into the kernel is going to increase and something will end up being merged.
