The following change just entered our testing repositories: We are making dbus-broker our default implementation of D-Bus, for improved performance, reliability and integration with systemd. For the foreseeable future we will still support the use of dbus-daemon, the previous implementation. Pacman will ask you whether to install dbus-broker-units or dbus-daemon-units. We recommend picking the default. For a more detailed rationale, please see RFC 25 at https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/rfcs/-/merge_requests/25.
