The difference is that kdbus makes sense technically, and virtually everyone will benefit from it. So it's not as controversial as various other patches that hit the kernel from time to time.

It's still a good reference for others in terms of submission quality (docs, test suite, etc)

Also a good reference for others in terms of reaction to review - it went from being a char device to being a filesystem because review said a char device was the wrong thing to do. IOW, the problem solved hasn't changed, but the solution presented has changed drastically.

kdbus is a technically watertight solution to a manufactured problem with intentional political side effects.
