Thanks for enumerating some of the difficult design choices involved in
writing D-Bus API wrappers.

Another option would be to version the D-Bus API, but I'm not aware of any
formal D-Bus protocols or conventions for doing this.

This blog posting seems to have some good recommendations

http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/versioning-dbus.html

but I don't how many service developers are actually doing this.

Are you aware of any other best practices for versioning D-Bus APIs?
