Would anyone else be willing to opine on whether or not they think
journal based event schemes are what we want going forward for OpenBMC?

My feeling is that they are not - as an alternative IPC mechanism don't
we end up re-implementing things that DBus already does?  Doesn't it
require us to raise the same event twice everywhere (Once with DBus, and
once in the journal)?  What does journal based eventing do that DBus
signals don't do?

Please poke holes.

thx - brad
