[SOLVED] Anyone using dbus-broker?

Hello all,  this is my first post on Arch forums.

I've read about dbus-broker's improved performance and reliability. Installing it in Arch is easy and distros like Fedora are using it, but I'm not sure if it's considered stable enough for daily use, and if there are any downsides.

So if anyone here is using it, please share how's your experience so far.

Thanks. I've found a list of the differences on their wiki at https://github.com/bus1/dbus-broker/wiki/Deviations so I guess it's nothing system breaking after all.

I'll wait in case someone wants to share their experiences, and will mark as solved tomorrow.

Honestly I can't really say much about it other than it works fine. I've personally been using dbus-broker since before it entered the extras repo, without any problems.
You may occasionally see warnings on eavesdropping for instance (along the lines of 'Eavesdropping is deprecated and ignored') but I've not noticed any problems caused/tracing back to that.
