What would you propose, sadly the timing is really bad as I'm leaving to
go to a wedding and will likely be out of reach till after Monday.

Clearly you are right with regards to FC-6, I'd love to replace it with
ndesk-dbus across the board but that is not going to happen it seems.
How about retracting for FC-6? For F-7 and above it's my understanding
that most applications should not depend on the unmaintained dbus-sharp
anyways as they generally rely on bundled copies of ndesk-dbus, banshee'
dbus-sharp dep e.g. is totally unneeded because of this. So the sane
solution seems to be pushing ndesk-dbus and ndesk-dbus-glib along with
recompiles of banshee and friends.

Again I apologize for the breakage.
