dbus-daemon-units vs dbus-broker-units

Pacman update (with core-testing enabled) offers
:: There are 2 providers available for dbus-units:
:: Repository core-testing
   1) dbus-broker-units  2) dbus-daemon-units
Enter a number (default=1):

The current system (journalctl) shows many dbus-daemon running.
According to
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/D-Bus
dbus-broker is an alternative implementation.

Should I follow  pacman's suggestion to change (to a new default ?), or keep dbus-daemon ?
Is a new default in progress by developers ?

If you're using the testing repos, you really need to be following the arch-dev-public mailing list so you know what's going on.

If I choose dbus-broker-units my kde crashes during start (kde6 beta2). If I choose dbus-daemon-units everything is running fine.

This seems to have landed in core. I just got the same prompt, while not using testing.
