and "bias"
So, just because I'm the maintainer of a package that is required for a
lot of the packages I maintain makes me biased.
Please read from top to down. This grep was to prove "intent".
It is in fact, not required for alot of packages upstream, and
especially there is no valid reason to put it in core.
we do specifically enable
config-dbus, but dbus is a dependency anyways:
indeed, i am wrong on this one. hal is already upstream default.

Ooh, so I'm the GNOME maintainer, what next?
please don't quote out of context. this statement was to prove your
bias towards gnome, which in combination with the above dbus-core point,
shows why this is a problem.
I never even installed Ubuntu on any system, how can I prefer it? Arch
has thousands of packages that need to work together, sometimes you
can't stick to your so called "unix philosophy".
Thank's for confirming once again that you do NOT wish to follow unix
philosophy.
This was indeed, the entire point of this rant.
