I don't have dbus installed on my linux due to security and privacy concerns. How is this new bus any better?

- Does it allow applications to enumerate what other apps are installed in the system (connected to the bus), without being explicitly allowed by the admin to do that?

- Does it allow apps to talk to each other without being explicitly allowed by the admin?

- Does it allow apps to "publish" data that anyone can read?

- Does it allow apps to "request" actions from other apps running with other privileges than themselves (elevation of privilege)?
