I think comparing kdbus to "behind closed doors" development models is
unfair. We chose to center our development around DBus, not the
kernel. Anybody who is interested in kdbus discussions could have
easily joined the DBus and systemd communication channels (and *many*
people did). I see little reason in cross-posting everything to LKML,
especially given that our communication is rarely mail-based.

Thanks
