How does appd fit into this? Varlink alone seems like it'd be enough to replace dbus. Would appd be for authentication and such?
P.S. we should definitely expose varlink interfaces as alternatives to DBus if possible in the nearer future than appd ;p

@ryanabx well, appd would allow us to go from unix socket to app identity. I am a bit worried about people exposing all kinds of varlink interfaces to sandboxed apps. the nice part about portals is that it forces everyone through one place where we make sure everything functions correctly together without poking holes in the security. we really have to retain that.
