 There are many **nasty**, **absurd** open **bugs** and also known **vulnerabilities**, as well as **conceptual problems** in d-bus codebase. The bugs range from uncontrolled [[https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80817|memory usage]], over silent [[https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52372|dropping of messages]], to [[https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28355|dead-locks by design]], unsolved for up to 7 years. Looking closer, most of them simply **cannot be solved without breaking** guarantees long given by [[https://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-daemon.1.html|dbus-daemon(1)]], the reference implementation. There are many **nasty**, **absurd** open **bugs** and also known **vulnerabilities**, as well as **conceptual problems** in d-bus codebase.

-Besides that even the reference-implementation is also made obsolete by others done, like [[https://github.com/bus1/dbus-broker|dbus-broker]] **being only implemented for Linux**. This is another approval about the on-going removal of standards ([[https://github.com/bus1/dbus-broker/wiki|source]]).+Besides that even the reference-implementation is also made obsolete by others done, like [[https://github.com/bus1/dbus-broker|dbus-broker]] **being only implemented for GNU/Linux**.
