Presumably because freedesktop crowd has made an architectural mistake and
pushed dbus as solution to all problems. And ran into limitations of
that, er, solution. Then, instead of perhaps reconsidering the wisdom of
their inspired decision, went for "let's push it kernelwards, it might
somewhat reduce the overhead and problems will be easier to chalk up to
something wrong being done by the kernel".
