Thanks, this increases my confidence that heavier D-Bus users like
Tracker can avoid use kdbus without breakage.

Because this is a unicast method reply, not a broadcast signal, the 2
MiB limit to kdbus broadcasts is not relevant here in any case.

For what it's worth,
http://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=Resources1\b suggests that
nothing in Debian uses it, which seems likely to be strongly
correlated with nothing at all using it. (There are some false
positive hits, mostly Mono-related, but nothing that looks like it's
communicating with Tracker.)
