Old design: 
https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/wiki/DesignDocs/DBusResponder#Representingdoma...

Hi,
I would like to change D-Bus interface for domains so it takes advantage 
of the new sbus features. It is similar to users and groups. The old 
methods should be deprecated.

It is something we should do to have a consistent interface and we 
should do it rather sooner then later since we don't have many consumers 
at this moment.

Does anyone use this interface?

If yes, then we can't just change the interface, but we can introduce the
new one in parallel in this release, mark the old as deprecated and then
remove the old one in the next release.

It would also be not welcome by consumers to change the API because the
new one is nicer, we should provide patches ourselves for those
projects.

OpenLMI and adelton uses it, I think.

Yes, I want thinking of deprecating the old one.

As long as the old interface is around, then fine.
