--- Comment #6 from Corey Halpin <chalpin@cs.wisc.edu> ---
Upstream has made clear that they do not intend to provide ATK separate from
dbus.

However, the patch that Dmitry has provided here demonstrates pretty
conclusively that they *can* be separated. It further demonstrates that the=
re
are downstream users who *want* this separation, who are willing to do the =
work
to implement it, and who are interested in sharing the result of that work =
with
other users.

The question about maintenance cost seems misplaced since there are already
users who are opting to pay that cost on an ongoing basis. If Dmitry's patc=
h is
not included in the ports tree officially, I will still be applying it or
something very much like it locally. I will still be doing the work to keep=
 it
working with new versions. I'm hardly unique in this regard.

So, given that this work will already be happening, is the FreeBSD ports tr=
ee
the appropriate place for users to share it?

(And if not, what *is* the appropriate venue?)
