I was looking at the services available on the dbus/sd-bus. I noticed though that some services existed (e.g. NetworkManager, system-logind, wpa_supplicant), Docker was missing.



I was wondering why they made a decision to not also integrate with the dbus/sd-bus, assuming we view Docker as a core utility in this day and age. Is there a reason Docker preferred to use their own API? Are there issues I'm not seeing with such an integration?



Edit: I'm just trying to understand why, besides the extra work, the Docker devs would choose to not integrate with the dbus. This is a question about dbus mostly, with the main study case being Docker.

Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
