Specific reasons were:

1.    No reason for distributions to include oyranos by default as
there were no apps demanding it
2.    Dependencies of oyranos are not already included by default
3.    An over-complicated codebase with it's own object system

Other reasons exist.

I remember the author disliking dbus in public.

Yes, this is one thing we talked about.

I am not sure of the term "king makers", sorry.

Many thanks,
