Hey Karoliina,

I understand that it's harder than just applying my patches. So please
take your time. It's urgent enough to destabilize Maemo.

The stability of the platform is more important than having a very
recent version of D-BUS.

Since D-BUS is going to stabilize their API, however, it's going to be
useful to eventually upgrade to a D-BUS version with a stabilized API. 

This will make it much more easy to target the Maemo devices for
development of applications (which is what we are planning to do at for
example X-Tend, the company where I am professionally employed).

Depending on the greatness of the platform and openness of the
Nokia/Maemo team you guys can expect more such patches and contributions
from people like me. That is a promise.

I'm confident for example the GNOME free software developers community
is very happy with how you guys are attempting to open up as much as
possible.

I'm looking forward and am excited to making this dream (an open
development platform for mobile devices) come true. Together with you
guys.
