Nobody asked for a design document.
And yes, people often say what they do or want to do.
Anyway, heise.de has details from the systemd.conf:
http://www.heise.de/open/meldung/Linux-Kdbus-soll-universeller-werden-Videos-von-Systemd-Konferenz-2910910.html

According to them the plan is making kdbus more universal and less
dbus specific.
Which sounds great.
