Seing that KDE still uses udisks1, I'm wondering what happens if one
compiles gdu/gvfs against udisks2 and starts a KDE app within GNOME. I
assume this will fire up udisks-daemon 1 and so both udisks-daemon 1
and 2 are running at the same time. Will they step on each others toes
in this case?

What is your plan for Fedora (given that you also have a KDE spin).
Will you ship both udisks versions in the archive? udisks2 for GNOME
3.4 and udisks1 for KDE?

Do you know of any efforts of getting KDE/Solid ported to udisks2?

How feature complete do you consider this 1.90.0 release? What is
missing compared to udisks1? Are any major disruptive changes still
planned before a 2.0 release?

Cheers and all the best,
Michael
