Hi,

First, sorry for the thread breaking, I've just joined this list and I
didn't get this mail.

The definition of stable and unstable in DBus isn't as hard and fast
as you'd really like -- the 1.5.x cycle is very slow and mostly stable
from a crashy point of view.

I'd say there is a good rationale for having both 1.4.x (.20, so that
also needs an upgrade) and 1.5.x in oe-core.  The default should be
1.4 for obvious reasons (it's the stable release), and 1.5 should be
there for people who need the improvements.  In particular there has
been a lot of work on performance, so anyone heavily using dbus (i.e.
anything using Telepathy, which is where the improvements came from)
should look at 1.5 because it will give a noticeable improvement on
slower hardware.
