How much is a bit? A couple of days/weeks/months?

I think DBUS is in Fedora Core 2 and HOWL is in FC3 which is due out
any day now.

I wouldn't enable it by default for the 1.2 builds but the distros
would be able to enable it as they see fit if they have the
dependencies and anyone else who wants to play with it could download
them and enable it themselves. I would see Fedora getting GM1.2 in
FC4.

Are either of these dependencies going to be part of the Gnome 2.10
release, or part of of the 2.8 release? If so I'd enable them for that
release.
