    [$] The kdbuswreck
    Few readers will have failed to notice by now that the attempted merging of
    the kdbus interprocess communication system into the 4.1 kernel has failed
    to go as well as its proponents would have liked. As of this writing, the
    discussion continues and nothing has been merged. This article constitutes
    an attempt to derive a bit of light from the massive amounts of heat that
    have been generated so far, with a specific focus on the issue of metadata
    and capabilities.
