I thought I was obvious that I was addressing the Aleix's concern about 
portability of frameworks requiring D-Bus, but I must have failed at that.

I'll try to make it more clear: a framework that can be built on a platform, 
run on that platform and provide its functionality on that platform can be 
considered supported on that platform.

And, additionally, the whole point of having different frameworks is the 
ability to choose which ones to use, which at least for me implied not having 
to use a framework that does not provide any features an application needs.

Cheers,
Kevin
