--- Comment #6 from Corey Halpin <chalpin@cs.wisc.edu> ---
Upstream has made clear that they do not intend to provide ATK separate from
dbus.

However, the patch that Dmitry has provided here demonstrates pretty
conclusively that they *can* be separated. It further demonstrates that there
are downstream users who *want* this separation, who are willing to do the work
to implement it, and who are interested in sharing the result of that work with
other users.

The question about maintenance cost seems misplaced since there are already
users who are opting to pay that cost on an ongoing basis. If Dmitry's patch is
not included in the ports tree officially, I will still be applying it or
something very much like it locally. I will still be doing the work to keep it
working with new versions. I'm hardly unique in this regard.

So, given that this work will already be happening, is the FreeBSD ports tree
the appropriate place for users to share it?

(And if not, what *is* the appropriate venue?)
