I take it your concern is the daemon, not the protocol?

I don't think a dependency on the dbus daemon has been even considered.
AFAIK programs may speak the dbus protocol over a fd without a need for
the daemon. And as a protocol, i guess it's as good as any.

If upstart were to be already speaking dbus-the-protocol, adding
*optional* support for dbus-the-daemon would be effortless.

Feel free to correct me if i'm wrong. :-)
