Does an app in fedora core require it?  When you say the media:/
protocol indicates if a new device is connected, does it listen to dbus
signals or does it propagate them itself?  For device connection there
is already a freedesktop standard for propagating device additions and
removals called HAL.  Also does kde 3.4 compile against the qt-dbus
bindings in CVS?  So far the qt bindings in CVS have not been passing a
dist check on my fedora box.  This may be a candidate for extras if I
can figure out how to split packages between extras and core when they
come from the same spec.  I also have no objection into getting into
core provided there is a real need.  I am hesitant to put it in if the
API is still in flux since the apps that use it and the version of dbus
we ship may get out of sync.
