Why is that ?

It can be quite helpful actually to be able to send multiple replies
to the same method call.

It can save the hussle of registering a client callback in with the
dbus service - the client will only register the callback locally, and
every time it will receive a reply to the same serial number it will
invoke the callback. The dbus service side will also be minimal - it
will only need to send a reply to the same serial number every time it
will have to invoke the client callback..

Or did I miss something and there is a much better way to implement that ?

Thank you,
