  yes and no. Someone needs to provide the dbus interface. Currently we have two ways to provide the DBus interface: kglobalacceld5 and kwin_wayland with the latter reusing almost everything of the former. So from a technical point of view the runtime is not needed, from a practical point of view it is needed.
  
  That's also a reason why we moved the runtime into kglobalaccel as it's kind of pointless to have the framework without the runtime.
