<title>Protocol and Specification Stability</title>
<para>
The D-Bus protocol is frozen (only compatible extensions are allowed) as
of November 8, 2006. However, this specification could still use a fair
bit of work to make interoperable reimplementation possible without
reference to the D-Bus reference implementation. Thus, this
specification is not marked 1.0. To mark it 1.0, we'd like to see
someone invest significant effort in clarifying the specification
language, and growing the specification to cover more aspects of the
reference implementation's behavior.
</para>
<para>
Until this work is complete, any attempt to reimplement D-Bus will
probably require looking at the reference implementation and/or asking
questions on the D-Bus mailing list about intended behavior.
Questions on the list are very welcome.

<para>
Nonetheless, this document should be a useful starting point and is
to our knowledge accurate, though incomplete.
