Systemd Looking At A Future With More Varlink & Less D-Bus For IPC

Taking place this week in Berlin was systemd's annual 'All Systems Go' developer conference

Those curious about the systemd plans for Varlink usage and challenges of D-Bus can find Lennart's presentation at media.ccc.de and embedded above.
