For a while they'll coexist, but on arch, pacman will ask for which to select, and arch recommends the default.  Actually on such questions, most of the time I choose default.  Will artix follow on the selection criteria as well?

To be honest, the only thing I have dependent on dbus system wide is dbus-dinit:

> % sudo dinitctl list | grep dbus
> [{+}     ] dbus (pid: 505)
> [{+}     ] dbus-pre

As user before calling wayfire (wayland):

> % grep dbus .local/bin/wayfire.sh
> eval "$(dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session)"

And once wayfire is running, on one of its auto-start applications:

> % grep dbus .config/wayfire.ini
> a0 = dbus-update-activation-environment --all

So, as long as those things keep working, if there's a change perhaps I don't even notice, and as on artix the services are packaged as <service>-<init_system>, maybe if there's any change it would be even more transparent to artix users.  But still it would be good to know what artix will do, and if there's any user intervention at all...

Greetings !
