This is quite obviously the NSA adding massive additional attackable surface area to the Linux kernel.
They did it to SSL/TLS, they did it to many others, they are now doing it in earnest to Linux.
First systemd, now kdbus. Keep this up and OpenBSD, or something else, is going to kill the Swiss cheese that Linux is becoming. I love Linux, so it is sad to see this happening.
systemd, kdbus and pulseaudio - wow r00t lol. kthxbai /nsa.
Seriously, its already a huge mess to administate a GNU/Linux with systemd and dbus and polkit already as it is. Its the only parts of my system where I feel I cant really inspect its inner workings. Its a black box.
I absolutely agree it is a mess for other reasons as well; but let us attack it on all angles, and I think security is the most important one these days.
