+Note that this results in a major difference to classic dbus1:
+activatable bus names can be established at any time in the boot. This
+is unlike dbus1 where activatable names are unconditionally available
+as long as dbus-daemon is running. Being able to control when
+activatable names are established is essential to allow usage of kdbus
+during early boot and in initrds, without the risk of triggering
+services too early.
