I will stand in defense of dbus. It and its predecessors have helped to automate my email handling to a minimum amount of work for me. With its help, an incoming msg, being written to /var/mail/$usr by procmail, is available for me to take action in kmail appriximately .25 seconds after procmail has closed the file. Losing dbus would multiply the needed mouse clicks by 2 or more, and add me as a variable delay to its visibility in kmail.
My comment was a bit of a raising flag for brain food. I don't think anyone would manage to get rid of dbus unless there is a better alternative - and so far we have not seen one. But this is my personal opinion. This mostly affects the desktop side, but as shown in bluetooth there are a lot of application utilizing dbus already.
